All of the decorative elements I added were made using a variety of Martha Stewart & EK Success punches (Pine Branch & Holly Punch). For the roof eaves I used a Martha Stewart Zig-Zag punch which feature a row of little holes along the punched bottom. This gave me the opportunity to hand sew tiny pearl beads across both sides of the roof - a bit fiddly I must admit but I reckoned it was worth it!
This photo shows the rear view of the church which you can see from the next photo is a little snowman made again using an MS snowman punch. I also added an arch window covered with acetate for glass.
Thanks so much for your time and Happy Christmas crafting whatever you are up to! x

Absolutely DIVINE! Pardon the pun. What a lovely idea and so co-ordinated. A fairy tale church. Thank you so much for sharing the source of the free template and especially for sharing your rendition! Blessed Holidays!
