I just LOVE this new collection!  I love the beautiful images and the designer papers are just stunning!  The colors are so soft and feminine...I had a really hard time cutting these papers for sure!

For this week's project, I made a card with the Raindrops on Roses Window PreCut Set.  I colored the image with pencils trying to match the designer papers and then fussy cut it.  The background mat is some of the designer paper.  The white lacy piece behind the image is one of the gorgeous new dies with the collection, The Raindrops on Rose Die.  There are two beautiful dies, this one is a circle medallion.  There are lots of possibilities with these dies as you can see on the HC Blog.  I have a feeling I'll be using these dies a LOT!

I added some lace and trim across the mat for the window to "sit" on.  The 2 tags are trimmed from the designer paper and added with pop dots and glue dots.  I added a white silk bow and some adhesive pearls to complete this.

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the gorgeous creations by the designers this week!  What a talented bunch of ladies they are!  Make sure to leave a comment there too for a chance to win the release!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:
