Krafty monochrome card

Hi all,

I had a whole day of no laptop all of Sunday so no blogging - due to me going to my Dad's to stay overnight.It didn't actually bother me surprise surprise. Had a lovely time doing a few jobs around the house for him and we had lots of quality time together which was great.  I forget how peaceful it is on the farm - bliss.Came home and they were digging up parts of the pavement and filling them in - what a racket.  I nearly turned around and went back......  Here's a card I've put together:
I used lots of kraft card, tree embossing folder for the background - no papers, vintage photo distress ink, polkadoodles sentiment, Nutcrafter's cute square digi's (coloured using promarkers) - very sweet, string and gems.

Challenges:
nutcrafters challenge-24 - embossed backgrounds (tree embossing folder)
my mums craft shop challenge 70-kraft it
charisma cardz challenge-32-monochrome
willow sketchie challenge - sketch and or kraft card or paper.
totally gorjuss challenge-145-strings-things

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.  Off for a rest now.
