Challenge 171/SCS Creative Crew Challenge

Hey Everyone - thanks for stopping by!  I did another card that combines this week's LNS challenge (copy a Hallmark card) and this months SCS Creative Crew Challenge (May flowers).  Teacher's Appreciation Day is coming up and I made this card for one of the teacher's on my 5th grade lunch team.  I don't know what we would do without Mrs. Park; she is a great teacher!

This is the Hallmark card that I copied:

And below is my "interpretation" of the Hallmark card.  I did the emboss technique for my card.  After embossing the images on a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White c/s with Vanilla EP,  I then rubbed some Blushing Bride and Peach Parfait over the image using a sponge.  I then distressed the edges of both the Whisper White and Blushing Bride c/s using a distressing tool and also crumbled up just the top area of the Blushing Bride c/s.  Added some pearls, and there you have it!  Thanks for stopping by - hope you'll play along for both challenges!
