The theme for the Allsorts challenge is **In the Garden** or the option of *Anything Goes*. This was chosen by Gail and the prizes are from Lavinia Stamps - full details on the Allsorts post where you will also see the inspiration from the Design Team.
For my card I've turned to a die set which has been in my stash for some years and I've used it to build up a garden scene. I started by smooshing some colour onto a piece of white card to give the appearance of sky and grass followed by die cutting the gateway, foliage and flowers. I then used different dies to cut the bird, cats and watering can. The three tiny butterflies were from my box of saved bits and pieces. The sentiment was stamped within the archway.
Gate, Flowers and Foliage - Garden Gateway die set from Stampin' Up (long retired)
Cats - dies from Impression Obsession (also very old)
Watering Can - from an unbranded die set
Bird - from a Joanna Sheen Bird Feeder die set (very old)
Butterflies - 'waste' from a border die (Crafter's Companion)
