For my card today, I chose to use the sweet  image that's shown in the sneak peek graphic.  I just love it!  I die cut a piece of Flourishes Classic White cardstock using the Perfectly Pierced Victorian Oval then stamped her in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I colored her using these Copic collections:

The card base is Classic kraft and the patterned papers are matted on Classic black cardstock.  She's popped up on foam tape and framed using a Want 2 Scrap Nestabling Lacey Oval of black rhinestones.

I'm playing along in this week's Dynamic Duos #51 (to celebrate my friend Janet making the team!) and I'm also entering this card into the CAS-ual Fridays #100 challenge (polka dots, kraft, punches or dies):
