In the Garden

  Time for a new challenge at Allsorts.  Gail has chosen In the Garden,
anything goes is always an option. 


 I uses Lavinia's Flower spray stencil for my background, and  Lavinia's
Heartfelt Versus for the sentiment.  I framed it with Spellbinders Hemstitch 
Rectangles dies, and added some IO butterfly dies.

 Check out my teammates lovely designs and enter for a chance to win at

The soft stenciled florals create such a serene garden atmosphere, and the way the hemstitch frame adds that delicate stitched detail gives the whole design a polished finish. The butterflies bring in just the right touch of movement, and the sentiment sits so naturally within the layout. A beautiful balance of texture, color, and gentle spring energy.
