Shaped Mother's Day Card

Have I mentioned that I am loving my Gypsy? It is so easy for me to set up the cuts for a card with it. I am using my Cricut even more since I got the Gypsy, and I used it often before. Last night I made this shaped card, using the Gypsy to weld 2 bird cages together for the base. I "hid" the cut outs so the base was solid, aded the first layer in black, the second layer in silver metallic, and the bird in red. I added some detail to the bird with gel pen, attached the pearls around the cage opening and at the top and bottom and used 3 ribbon roses with a few leaves that I punched with a mini punch. On the inside I used the remnant of silver from my cage cut, cut around the space left when I cut the bird and used a stamp from Studio G. The white and black cardstock was from ACMoore, the red is Bazzill and the silver metallic is DCWV. Ribbon roses by Offray.
I am entering the following challenges with this card:
