Kraft it up challenge for May!

Wow - I can't believe it is May already! My scrappin' bestie Kaz put up this great challenge for us to do and then the Kraft it up challenge was almost exactly the same so we decided to give it a go! This was really challenging!! NO PATTERN PAPER! like not even a little bit...not a smidge...not a scrap! VERY hard for me considering I am a layer junkie! I was happy with how it turned out though and glad I gave it a go to try something different! Why don't you pop over to http://kraftitup.blogspot.com/ and join in!

I used kraft cardstock and some paint, glimmer mist and fabric from my stash as a backing, added some stitching and an antique book page (distressed and aged it a bit more to match colours) then looped around some twine and placed on some leaf stickers. Doily is from (you guessed it) the Chip Chop Shop and that adorable little birdie is Websters Pages (thanks Kaz!). Little birdhouse was altered with distress inks and I added some burlap for the roof, popped on some Prima and buttons and I think that is about it!

I hope you like it!
