Jitterbuggin Challenge # 10 Black and White with one more color

Here is my take on the Jitterbuggin Challenge # 10 Black and White with one more color. The first thing I thought of was a wedding. I don't' think there's anything more classier than Black and White. I worked and worked on this even went to the store to get paper, and look for ideas, still couldn't get the right touch. I wanted to give up and do something else, but I was too far into this to back out. So I went for it. My other color is silver, only because of the wedding rings. There is so much glitter on this card, it really sparkles. Thanks for looking. Mylene
