I loved the picture of the little house in the latest Play Date Cafe challenge, #47. Although I was inspired by the colour combo, I just loved that wee house, so went with that and made a birdhouse for a friend's daughter's birthday. So far I've lined the nest with tissue paper strips and I intend to fill it with little goodies, makeup and jewelry.
I'm not sure if you can see very well in this photo, but I scored pieces of white card at regular intervals to give the effect of cladding. The template for the bird house can be found here.
Supplies:
Stamps - WMS vintage labels 4, PTI birthday bash sentiments
Card - PTI new leaf, SU! tempting turquoise
Paper - PTI bitty dots basic
Punch - SU! two step bird
Button - SU! designer buttons
Clip - SU!
Ribbon
Floss
Scallop scissors
