I made this card for the MMTPT144 (a house for Will and Kate) and CC321 color challenge. I've had this huge English mansion stamp for years and always thought of it as too large to fit on a card with all of my embellishments, so for this challenge I cut out just a part of it so I could add lots of goodies! Our destination challenge this week is to Charlotte Kellogg, who is in the last stages of cancer (if you'd also like to send her a card, here's the link: Forums at Splitcoaststampers) and I thought immediately of John 14:1-7, which talks of Jesus going to prepare a place for us, I put this verse on the inside. What more could you ask for, finding a home for Will and Kate, and a home in heaven, all in one day! God Bless and TFL!!

Awww...how wonderful! I am glad you put a verse in the card! This is beautiful...I love that you were able to use your stamp......I have loved seeing all the little cottages in the gallery this week and yours is a wonderful addition! So, me thinks you are telling us you are an embellishment junkie...giggle! You and everyone and their grandma! Snort!
It's lovely, Charlotte will love it and will be very touched!
Thanks for the kind comment on my card! Gave me warm fuzzies!

Wow, that is fabulous looking! Red, black and white is always a winner, and you have made it look fantastic - love the combination of gingham and lace.
That's only part of the stamp - goodness! I think I worked in a couple of houses like that .

OMGracious that stamp is so outrageously gorgeous. I am coveting it at present. I will be going straight to Magenta after I post this. I love this card.
