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
