Scrapping Outback July challenge

Well the challenge this month at Scrapping Outback, is making me think of the tropics, lol, wishing I was there, instead of freezing cold Melbourne. This is the image for the White with a twist challenge:
I had this photo of my sister in law and her husband, and Rose's dress was just the perfect match for this challenge. 
I used a Heidi Swapp stencil and some soft pastels that I rubbed over the stencil. I then spattered some ink in pink and orange around the page. I chose 3 chipboard pieces from Scrap FX (the heart), 2Crafty (the love circle) and Remember When Scrapbooking (the frangipani piece). I added embossing powders to all 3 pieces. I then added a selection of flowers from D-lish Scraps and some very vintage Charms Creations paper flowers. 
I like this overall effect, mind you the embossing of those really fine chipboard pieces was really tricky. 
Thanks for looking at my layout, and for any comments you may leave.
Love
