Wedding LO Part Deux

This is my grandparents on their wedding day, sadly both have passed on, my grandmother before I was born, so I never got to know her.  I am making a book of my grandmothers life, and am scrap-booking as many pictures of her as I can find to be part of it, she hated having her picture taken although when I see these pictures of her wedding day I don't understand why, I think that she was beautiful.  

I am entering this LO in the challenge at "The Paper Variety"  the challenge was black and white with a kiss of   color, so I chose the color that (I think) her bouquet was.  My background paper is from DCWV's The Formal Stack, the roses in the original paper were white, I don't know why it came out looking pinkish when I took my picture, the effect is much more striking in person.  The accent paper is from The Old World Stack (also DCWV).  I used my Ashlyns Alphabet cart for the lettering and Walk In My Garden for the border, I used my gypsy to turn the roses into a border.          

Fall in Love

This card is 5X7, which is much bigger than I usually do, but I needed the extra room to accomadate my late night inspiration.  The vase is from the Walk in My Garden cartridge, the papers are Basic Grey, a stack called (I think) Hang Ten and a stack called Archaic.  The vase is foam taped, double thick to give enough height to fit the flower arrangement.  The sentiment is a stamp that I have used before, it came from Michaels.  I am entering this into 2 challenges, the Whimsical Wednesdays fall colors challenge, the twist on this challenge was that you had to add a handmade embellishment, and so I am sincerely hoping that my flower arrangement counts as an embellishment. I am also entering it into the Colors of Autumn over at Cooking with Cricut.  Thank you for taking the time to visit, your comments are always appreciated.
