I relied on texture to make the card more interesting. First time use of the Darice Butterfly Swirls embossing folder which I've had for quite a while. No idea why I waited so long, sheesh. In the end I like this card a lot, but my favorite part is the cute little black and white flowers.
Come along to Double D and see the team's brilliant use of black and white. Read up on the easy challenge rules and benefits, and then play along. It'll be fun! Have a happy day!

Leslie, one of the most elegant color combination is Black and White and you created a gorgeous card with these colors.
I love the sentiment, which I think it's true, LOL!! and those tiny butterflies add a touch of whimsy to your beautiful design.
Love that awesome embossing folder too.
Great challenge, I'll see you in the gallery, 😉
Sending hugs, my friend.

Awesome card, Leslie! Gorgeous, elegant and stunning! Love the embossed background and that sentiment is perfect! A truly wow card!!
Such an elegant card, Leslie! Those tiny flowers are fabulous. The oval die works really well with the design of the embossing folder. Just beautiful!
Beautifully created Leslie!! Love the design and those cute little flowers are the perfect addition. Embossing folders sure add a lot don't they (when we remember to use them) and this one is perfect in every way for your card!
Hope your rain has stopped, we are finally getting some good weather here..60's (though we had snow flurries Sunday night...that's Michigan for you!)
This is so very gorgeous. Your black and white combination is so elegant looking. Beautiful use of dies.
Hi, Leslie! Cute birthday card! Such a pretty sentiment, and your tiny butterflies in vellum looks so pretty with the little black beads to match those darling tiny flowers with the same centers! Everything true to scale, it's a lovely card! hugs, de

.....and brings a bottle of wine..... lol Great sentiment. Your card is fabulous, I love the partial embossing texture, looks beautiful and adds so much interest. The layering of your oval die cuts is so pretty too! Dainty flowers and butterflies make for great accents too! Just lovely!
What a pretty card. I love black and white only in a card. Your embossing folder with the butterflies is so neat especially with the butterflies on the card! Again - great sentiment!
LOL ... I knew this was going to be a difficult challenge for you ... with the lack of color .., but you came through it with flying colors! BEAUTIFUL creation my friend!
classically elegant card, the black and white theme looks gorgeous:)
OH, I would have a hard time with this challenge. Your card is beautifully done, the texture is wonderful and I agree -the small flowers are my favorite too! The butterflies are so elegant.
Beautiful embossing to go with your sweet little butterflies, the vellum over the black is a great look and yes your little flowers are very sweet with it. Great sentiment!
Beautiful textures and elegant black and white CAS Card design, Leslie. TFS Hugs...Nancy
A gorgeous sunny day today. I got in a hike and fun crafting with beautiful sunshine streaming thru the windows and open door:-) Hugs..P.S. Denny left this a.m. for a 4 day, 3 night backpack:-)
I adore that sentiment it is so true! I love the oval die, and as a matter of fact, I just used mine yesterday. So much texture.
Very beautiful without any color. Your design and sentiment speak volumes!
This is another elegant card. The design of the embossing folder works perfectly with the oval die and the sentiment. Those little white flowers with the black centers and leaves are the perfect accent.
Gorgeous monochrome card -love the sentiment and beautiful embossing
