Craft Your Days Away Challenge 2 - With Wings

Whoo hoo we're onto our second challenge over at Craft Your Days Away. The theme this time is With Wings. I have chosen to stitch a bird to sit ontop of a little box. I have decorated the box simply and rustically with a few flowers and some raffia.

Our sponsor is the fab DT member Craft Emma of Crafty Emma's Store, go take a look at her shop, loads of lovely tempting stash!

Please do come and join in the challenge with us and check out the beauiful DT creations.

Fabric & threads - from stash
Box - Papermania
Paint - Anita's Acrylic Paint in Country Blue
Dew drops - from stash
Raffia - Papermania
Papers used for flowers/butterfly - Linen Closet DCWV
