Birdhouse ♥

I'm loving the soft colours of this blue and white birdhouse.  The delicate pattern on the paper is just beautiful...

Beautiful Birdhouses

Baby Birdhouse Bunting

I've been using my scraps up again, this time on some tiny birdhouse bunting.

I drew a simple template for the base shape and an extra eaves template. It's a great way to use up small scraps of my favourite papers. They are tied to the hanging cord with embroidery silks.

Matchbox Birdhouse

My sister and I made matchbox birdhouses.

I used a Laura Ashley paper in a flower and bird print.

I 'aged' the edges with a gold stamping ink and decorated the roofline with a delicate glitter.

Embellishments are tiny paper flowers and a jewelled butterfly and dragonfly.

The hole is a tiny black button and the knobs on the drawers are gold split-pins.

Birdhouse tag

Another birdhouse tag.
I love the little wooden green heart and the rough button.
