Hello everyone, it's time for a new theme at Allsorts challenge and this week Brenda is hosting with the optional theme of "April Showers bring May Flowers" and we can't wait to see what you'll create.
I went with "showers" as the focus but there are flowers included here too. The silhouette stamps (girl and duck) are from a retired Stampin Up set (Million Dollar Moments).The flowers are from Lavinia stamps (Lavender). On the background I used a stencil also from Lavinia. Sentiment is part of this Penny Black sentiment set.

I embellished with some sheer polka dot ribbon, die cut flowers and dew drops. The patterned paper I used behind the image panel is ancient, from my early scrapbooking days circa 2002 when my papercrafting adventures began :)

Loving the soft pastel backdrop for the silhouette image which is perfect for our theme this week, the sentiment is of course perfect as well.
