Flaming June....?

What's happened to the weather then?  Who switched the sunshine off?  I hadn't expected on the first day of June that I would be out in the garden in the evening, with husband, wellies & waterproof on, desperately trying to fasten up plants and little trees that were getting battered by strong gusty wind and heavy rain!  I thought on evenings in June we should be sat outside, sharing a drink and chatting about the day!  Sigh.  Thankfully the winds seem to have eased a little this morning, so I'll go and inspect damage soon.

Anyway, I kept busy with my crafty stash as a friend had asked me to make an anniversary card for her to give to her husband - she had requested a humorous one and I know that they both have a good sense of humour (we are both current owners of teenage boys - a sense of humour is essential!).  So I had a browse through my stamps and decided that the fabulous Stella & Gus from Bugaboo would fit the bill (I just hope my friend agrees lol!)


I've coloured the image with copics
The backing papers are from LOTV, with some added stitching and hessian ribbon. I've mounted the sentiment, added an eyelet & some twine, and then a little wooden heart. 
So quite a simple layout but I think it works ok. 

I hope that your day (and weather!) is a good one - and that you have some crafting time too.
Back soon,
Kim x
