Congrats to Beth! I had a lot of fun browsing her gallery. I finally chose Beautiful Funeral, mainly because I liked the black and white but I was also intrigued by the title. I kept the black and white but added some silver and changed almost everything else.
The only stamped image is the tree. It was stamped on white c/s. Then I took it and a large piece of the black & white dp and coated them w/ spray glitter. Since the glitter didn't seem to want to stay put, I then spray a coat of sealer on them. I used a rectangle nestie on the tree panel and also on the black layer behind it. I edged both panels w/ the VM pen and embossed w/ silver ep.
I used the ornament folder on the large silver panel, punched the corners and also silver embossed the edges. I also silver embossed the edges of the dp panel.
The buckle is from a nestie die and I highlighted it w/ silver. I cut a narrow strip of the dp and attached it to a piece of silver wrapping ribbon and ran these thru the buckle. A few MS branches punched out of silver are glued underneath. I assembled everything and added some dots of silver Stickles in place of brads. TFL

Yikes, girl, I have no idea how you manage to create most of your cards, and today's card fits that category totally. This is beyond gorgeous and that silver star at the top is perfectly creative genius! Beautiful card.

What a great study in black and white! I've been mentally juggling a concept I have had for a black and white card on and off for several weeks. I think I'll just throw it in the trash now. You've mastered it, girl! tfs
