Mom's Birthday Card

I made this card for my Mom's birthday which was the 18th. Happy Birthday Mom!!!My inspiration for the colors came from sapphire, which is the birthstone for September.
I used this sketch from Cardabilities which is being sponsored by Flying Unicorn.
I cut out the perfume bottle using my Cricut (Summer in Paris cartridge). I embossed the top layer with gold. The bottom layer was cut with a clear transparency which I inked with alcohol ink. I made the blue roses using Gabrielle Pollaco's Rose Tutorial.I painted all the gold edges around the roses and pp's.The round chipboard image is an old vintage perfume label which I got from  Magic Moonlight.
Here's a close-up of the lacing and some of the misting and stamping I did on the lavender paper.
Thanks for visiting!
