This card is stunning on so many levels! I'm a color-holic, so I always admire how artists like you can create something so visually amazing with a monochromatic palette. I really love the grace of this card even though the palette is black and white. The lace adds a beautiful touch and you did a masterful job of making the white sentiments pop. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
