I started with the base of the card. I took distress crayons and added black, and gray distressing to a piece of black and white dp that already had sort of adistressed look. I just made it look more distressed. I took a black piece of cardstock. I dry embossed it with an embossing folder and my cuttlebug. When I took it out of the folder I used white distress crayon to go over the raised areas. itook white acrylic paint and aded dots to spots of the embossing. I stamped the butterfly using black stazon ink. I fussy cut it so that the wings hung over the edge. I added some shading with a regular pencil. I added white acryllic paint dots to the wings. I painted the ody of the butterfly with black fingernail polish. I heat embossed the music notes with clear embossing powder. I added my signature cheesecloth and used this weeks mojo sketch challenge 464. This is also for Dragonfly Journeys Challenge to use a butterfly.

What a fabulous black and white collage! You've really got some interesting elements here and great contrast between the white and black panels. I like how you incorporated some fun mediums into your piece..black fingernailpolish..cheesecloth...white acrylic paint dots....Cool card!!
