I am entering this card into two challenges - The Play Date Cafe #46 (black & white with a splash of pink, copper or gold) and Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge #14.
I tried very hard to get a decent photograph of this card but failed miserably, they all looked off white or pixelated so this rather blurry scan will have to do. I have used a variety of Waltzing Mouse stamps here, the large and small blooms are from the Chrysanthemum set, the sentiment is from Blessed by You and the narrow strip separating the two backing papers I made uses the border stamp from the Say it with Style set. The scallop egde was made with a Martha Stewart punch and I threaded a length of cerise pink organza ribbon through as one of my splashes of pink. The black, white and pink flower die cut was made by my friend Beverley who runs the Chop o Holics card club. I enjoyed making this card and am quite pleased with the result as I think a touch of another colour adds something to the monotone look.

This card is very pretty. I adore those flowers which I think are Dahlias.
And the border is a lovely crisp edge to your design.
I think your photo is just fine!
