Ran a piece of white cardstock through the Cuttlebug with the Checkerboard folder from the Everyday Bundle #371956, then brayerd the high points with Versafine Black Onyx and embossed with Marcasite. Layered that onto a black cardstock.

Adhered a white silk twisted cord to a black one that has a binding edge to it, then adhered black sequins. When dry, I adhered it to the checkerboard background.

Designed my butterfly and cut it out from Shimmer Sheetz red metallic (available thru ecraftdesigns.com), then thru Cuttlebug with the Sizzix Damask folder, then sanded the high points and adhered it to the card with Glossy Accents.

Die cut the largest Spellbinder's heart from Shrink Plastic (Ruff n Ready), sponged Distress Barn Door on the edges and stamped the quote (Quietfire Design) with the black, punched holes and baked it.  Die cut another heart from white cardstock, also sponged with the red, then adhered them both to the background with small red brads.

Attached prima black & white flowers with large red brads to the background. Then adhered everything to a main white card.
