I'm late, but here's my card. Our destination this week is Everette, Washington. We're sending cards to Charlotte, a friend of fellow SCSer and Teapotter Judy (JayDeKay). You can learn more about this week's destination and challenge here.
I decided to go with the interior of a secret hideaway cottage for Will and Kate. Even though the outside might look good, you gotta check out the inside to know what you're really getting. This may be a cottage, but it's a royalty type cottage with their own Italian chef, dining room with rose tea service and chandelier. It also comes with Rufus, who'll be their new pet dog. It's even furnished with flowers on the table and a wedding picture of the royal couple. A perfect getaway that still has all the amenities needed for the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
All images are digital stamps from Happileigh Scrappin', except for the floor, rug, wainscoting and window, which I drew. I colored the images with Copics and used dimensionals to pop up the cut out chef and Rufus the dog.

That's quite some fancy schmancy cottage with a chandelier . Mind you, I've been in more than one gate-lodge here which would class as a cottage but definitely had high enough ceilings to accommodate one. I like the wedding picture on the wall, too.
And I'll even buy the chef idea - after all, one of my cooking jobs was with a family who were on holidays in a cottage in the south of England - one bedroom for the kids, one for the parents and one for me and the nanny.

Wow, Susan, you certainly went all out, providing the Italian chef and a new pet dog!! Love the cute little scene you created from all those images put together - and how you got a framed copy of the wedding portrait so fast is beyond me - Super sweet card for the new couple - and you're right - you never know what you are going to get until you look on the inside!! TFS

With a creation like this, you're excused from being late!! This is Wonderful!! You have put so much detail into this cozy scene, and your coloring is over the top!! If Will and Kate aren't happy here, I'll move in!
