An Old Favourite In Apricot

I dug out one of my older Lili of the Valley stamps to play with, I always enjoy colouring this beauty, this time I've gone for shades of apricot, using my faithful Promarkers, as usual.
 The papers are Papermania, Kraft Notes and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.  The flower was made with Spellbinders Carnation Creation dies and the leaves with a Spellbinders Foliage die.
To give my card a pretty, shabby look, I've distressed all the edges with my Tim Holtz tool, added some cream lace with apricot grosgrain, scalloped ribbon layered over it, and a messy, double loop bow.  To finish, I added some pearls to make a corner feature and a scattering of pearls by the leaves.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Crafty Ribbons - #89 - Anything Goes with Ribbon
The Ribbon Girl - LOTV + Add Pearls
Papertake - Pretty Pastels
Simon Says Stamp - Die Crazy
The Paper Shelter - #158 - Girly Girl
