My Blog Hop card uses the latest Ching-Chou Kuik Fantasy Art image from Plate #36 titled
"Soft Goth Night."  I got so carried away with her that I hope I haven't covered it up too much.

Supplies:
Ching-Chou Kuik Fantasy Art image from Plate #36 "Soft Goth Night" which may be seen HERE
Designer papers and cardstock by Daisy D's and DCWV
Metal frame by Studio K
Spellbinder's "Classic Frame" die
Provo Craft "Fancy Borders" die
Creative Memories circle cutting system
Pearls and rhinestones by Kaiser
Roses from the Dollar Store
Large leaf punch by Martha Stewart
Fern leaf punch by EK Success
Ribbon by Reasonable Ribbon
Copic markers
Pop Dots are homemade

Directions:
I cut base to be 6" by 6" and layered designer paper over that a bit smaller.  I cut a large circle from DP with CM cutting system and folded in half and cut again, placed one on each side.  I trimmed the focal image to fit inside a cut frame by Spellbinders, I colored with Copic markers (I am trying to improve in my coloring, promise!).  This panel was edged with blue and black inks before putting in the large frame.  Then I began adding BLING!  
I love this plate and think you will too!
Connie
