Leave a comment on the HC blog by January 17 to be eligible to win the entire release valued at $174.90. The winner will be announced on January 18 on the HC Blog.

Here is the card I made using some of these gorgeous new stamps and coordinating die.  I stamped all my images on watercolor paper and colored everything with watercolor and Inktense pencils.

For the doorway I wanted lots of dimension, so I stamped the image 3 times, cut  all the different pieces for each layer and adhered with pop dots.  For the doors I  stamped the image on clear cardstock with black StazOn ink.

Here is another close up of the door, you can see the dimension better here.

And here is a diagram of the 3 images I stamped, the red areas on each image represent the area I cut out and did not need for each layer.

If you find your self with some extra time, hop over to the HC Blog and take a peak at all the gorgeous projects the rest of the DT has created this week.  Thank you so much for stopping by and don't forget to comment for a chance to win the complete collection.  Good Luck!!!!
