Bridal Shower Card

My BFF's son is getting married.  I was invited to a lovely Bridal Shower in Northern Michigan. The  trees were at their peak so it was a great color show.  Here is the card I made. The colors for the wedding are navy blue and yellow.

 I used the CTMH cricut cartridge to cut the roses, then I sponged them with  distress ink and rolled and shaped them. The leaves and vine are a Cheery Lynn die. I used 5 different Spellbinders dies. My bow was made with my Craft-Dee BowZ tool and PTI ribbon.  The colored paper is from PTI and the pattern paper is Kate and Company.  The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread. I added a little crystal effects and  bling and she was done.
