Gingerbread House roof

I am adding two pictures of my progress on my Gingerbread House roof. I am doing pattern darning using one strand DMC 433 combined with one strand of a metallic sewing thread Bijoux MMT 429 Jasper. The idea is to make it look like roof tiles.  I have not decided if I am happy with the look or not.  It is supposed to give me a background to add to.

If you are not familiar with pattern darning, a quick tutorial is here at the ANG site.
