Finally a shabby roof!

I've known for a very long time how I wanted the shabby house roof to look.
And now the kids have finally gone back to school I've had some time to make it.
All it took was a piece of cardboard and some paint!

    I really like the roof style, something a little different and it is certainly just great on the A-line house.
