I have so little time this week that I had to wrap my three favorite challenges up in one card.
At MMTPT144 - The Fun Teapot Tuesday Challenge, we are coming up with houses that Realtor Rose can sell to Will & Kate. I don't have a single house or cottage or castle stamp so I opted for land - they can build something spectacular on this awesome 42,000 acres of land in the Wild Wild West. No paparazzi to worry about once the fences are electrified - just have to worry about helicopters and planes (Will can chase them down though - he is quite the pilot I understand). The WWW man occasionally runs cattle through the property but I am sure Kate won't mind that. I did a simple flower arrangement - after seeing her bouquet at the wedding, I know she will like this one. The newlyweds love the outdoors and hunting and this property is just perfect for them.
I used the lace and polkadots on this after seeing this super handbag on the IC283 Inspiration site: Henriettas Bags. This is a bag I think Kate would like as well - you know she was a designer. Here is the link to the bag:
I patterned my whole card after The Case Study Card #38 - this month's Muse is Sarah Martina Parker and the card we are studying this week is so awesome! Here is the link if you are interested but I warn you that you will want to case it for sure:
Paper: SU! (very vanilla and a brown), MFP (black linen), Cosmo Cricket Wanted dp
Ink: Stazon Black and SU! chocolate chip
Accessories: paper doily, rafia, ribbon, pearls, SB circle die, hat pin from MFP, lace (from Pat Smethers), flowers out of DH's gun cabinet bouquet, SU! Faux Sewing Kit

Wow! Nancy, this is awesome and I think you are very clever to give land to Will and Kate. I gave them a carousel for the inside or outside of their house.:rolleyes: Go figure...well, I was combining challenges. Great job on all your challenges and a fab creation.

Wow, Nancy, LOVE this vintage card, and you even worked in a beautiful bouquet of flowers for Kate, and added pearls and that gorgeous lace to boot. Of course my attention was first captured by the MAN, but he is known for subtle entries into scenes, and then slips off quietly into the sunset. Fabulous work, here, Sister!! Your heart is showing big time with all the romantic elements!
