I stamped image with Sahara Sand on H2O paper twice and lightly color washed. I cut one frame out and popped up over the first so the door appears recessed. I also stamped a Stampendous Stone Wall image in a continuous row for panel 2, and color washed the same way.
My base is Always Artichoke, then two different Anna Griffin DP's, and then for panels 3a and b I punched 3" squares with my MS edge punch to make a Medallion and cut the outside section off, leaving just the lattice as an edge. I lightly sponged the edges.
I used bits of Flower Soft (also from ODBD Store) in the stone wall areas. I mixed colors to get this shade. I will explain how I got this color on my blog: http://th-ink-ingofyou.blogspot.com
Thanks so much for looking! Have a blessed day and I will be back tonight to view everyone's creations and make comments.

This is WAY too lovely of a card (can I have it?) Just kidding. The papers you used look awesome together. I love that verse also. Your paper piercing is really nice. All of the things you have chosen and put together really work well.
