Allsorts Challenge #839

 The theme for the current Allsorts Challenge has been chosen by Lynn who has asked us to **Create a Scene** or there is always the *Anything Goes* option. Prizes this time are from Lavinia Stamps - full details on the Allsorts blog post.

For my card I've chosen to use some of my Lavinia stamps to create the scene which is a reminder of warmer days in the garden.  I started by die cutting a square and then lightly stencilled some blue and green ink as a background before stamping the tree, to which I added some leaves.  The little elf with his watering can was added next with a couple of second generation mushrooms and some foliage.  


White Square - Stained Glass Die Creative Expressions
Tree - Sacred Tree, Lavinia
Leaves on Tree - Mini Leafe Stamp 1 Lavinia
Elf - Herbalum Bob
Foliage - Small Shroom and other small foliage stamps by Lavinia
