Birdhouse

I love fiddling around with templates and this was no exception. It's a little birdhouse tree decoration for my granddaughter. As it's merely card, I'm not sure how long it will last in the the hands of a 2 and a half year old, but hopefully it will make it onto the tree.
I embossed the cut-out template with a Tim Holtz tree bark embossing folder and made the roof and the floor from Nesties.
I think I may make one for our tree too!
