VLV2014 wk4 - Teachers Count

Instead of flowers which I love, I decided to work on a thank-you card for a teacher using week 4 sketch of Viva La Verve designed by Anya Schrier along with the stamp set: Teachers Count (Verve).

Here is my card:

Actually, it's for the daycare where my little grandson goes since he learns a lot from there when they have school time and so they are also teachers in my view. He talks so well and only 2 years old. This paper was perfect for school theme called: Storytime (SU) and perfect with the little kids playing. 

Plus couldn't resist but to use this cute little apple and matching die cut. The inside of the card, which I forgot to take a picture has another apple and the sentiment "Thanks you for all you do".  Added some hearts using the Scalloped Trim Trio (Verve) and my Fishtail Flag (MFT) dies to cut some banners for the top and bottom along with foam mount under the Daffodil Delight cardstock (center), under the banners, and under one of the apples (bottom one). 

Final touch was adding some crystal effects on the apple to make it shine. Don't forget to check out the new Viva La Verve sketch challenge or click here to go directly to week 4 sketch and have some fun! I hope they enjoy the handmade card.
