TWO CHALLENGES : JUST ADD INK #62, AND CR84FN #22

I'd been a bit scared off by this week's challenge at Just Add Ink, to "Just Add a Box or a Bag", as I am just not a 3D papercraft kind of girl!  Cards, I can do, but anything "off the page" is way outside my comfort zone. Here I was, thinking I had to come up with something spectacular, when I remembered that I have Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous Fancy Favor die!!  Woohoo - instant box/bag, ready to be embellished! 

The colour challenge at CR84FN this week is gorgeous; right down my alley.  Here's the inspiration piece:

So, with trusty die at hand, and yummy colours to work with, all the while keeping in mind that Mother's Day is not far away, this is what I came up with:
