A Special Card for a very Special Friend

Good Morning Crafters, a very special friend of mine is getting married next week and as I only heard through another friend this was taking place I thought I would like to make a card for her and hopefully send her my love and good wishes for a happy future. I have known her for at least 25 years and she went through a really bad time a few years ago and I happy that she has found someone else who she feels will make her happy, I do want to wish her all the best.
The image I have used for my card is a Whiff of Joy one and I have stamped it onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, afterwards I have used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.1 to cut it out and a scalloped one for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash and i felt it was just right for this image it also has flowers around the edge and its been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a base mount of pink pearlescent, then on top is a one of two papers from the Confetti Paper Pack from Dovecraft, its old one that I had in my stash and its only used when I have a wedding card to make, actually my eldest daughter is also getting married in a few weeks time so it also came out for that one to.
The first paper is a pink and white stripe and in the corners I have used a Martha Steward border heart punch, this was stuck on the pink base, then on top is a second paper which is a white background with heart confetti design on it this was cut into a 6.75"x 5" oblong and then it was punched with the same heart punch I used for the corners and I have used the border punch with it as well.
Across the center I have used two white ribbons and attached them to the back of the first mount, I then placed my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of I have used several sized roses in pink and white and beaded swirls in a spray in the top left hand corner, the final flourish are the pearl sprays at the end of both of them.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-
