Christmas birdhouse



Hi
I have been making  a lot Christmas items for a demo I did recently and I made this cute birdhouse for my friend to display in her shop at Christmas...I painted the ceramic birdhouse white with acrylic paint .I made poinsiettas using a tonic punch set and added them using a glue gun. The leaves are made using a border die from cheery lyn and the flourishes are a die from sizzix .The ribbon and gems came from meiflower crafts.
