Busy Gardener!

Hello all, and hope that if you're suffering from the cold wind & snow that you're managing to keep warm! Thankfully the snow that we had has more or less gone, but it's still freezing!  We've kept seeing an odd few flakes of the white stuff but not settling - yet.  But somehow or other I don't think we'll be sitting in the garden over Easter.....

A little card today featuring a lovely Sarah Kay stamp 'Gardens need many helpers'


I love this cute image!  But then again, I don't think there's a Sarah Kay image that I don't like lol! 
I've coloured him with promarkers and flexmarkers


I decided to make a version of a 'criss cross' card. I've used coredinations card, K&Co and First Edition papers and mounted the image on a Spellbinders 'floral oval'


I've used distress inks on the edges, and a Tonic border punch. The green seam binding is from Pretty Little Ribbon shop and the chipboard embellishment is from K&Co. 

Hope you like it!  Although I think it's going to be a while before I can do any gardening! 
Back soon,
Kim x 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:-

Stamping Sensations - Great Outdoors
PennyBlack&More - for the boys
OohLaLa - male-themed
