METHOD:
1. Cut the house template from cream card and the windows and doors from yellow, using a digital cutting machine or by hand. Score the house and cover the side and back panels with glitter paper. Fix the windows and door, then glue vellum to the reverse before layering it onto beige card.
2. Trim pink card to 4cm x 14cm and fold in half. Pierce a hole in the centre of the fold and feed embroidery thread through it. Apply glue to the longest edges of the card and glue between the facades to create a roof.
3. Die cut foliage shapes from pink card. Glue these over the surface of the house in a symmetrical pattern. Add bronze gems to the front of the house to complete.
