Allsorts Week 63 - Dressing up.....

This week at allsorts we would like you to think about getting dressed up....

our sponsor this week is

One Stop Card Crafts

I found this image in my image box and thought this would be perfect for this challenge.......

I wanted to do something a little different than just a standard card especially as this weeks theme is quite theatrical so I decided to do this ........

I made the inside look like a little compact!.... well you cant go dressing up without your make-up on can you lol.....

The card base was made using the biggest of the standard large circle nestie, then each layer was just mounted and placed inside, the 'mirror' is mirri card and a Elzybells sentiment stamp was used .......

Keep your eyes peeled over at

PENNY BLACK @ Allsorts

As there will be a new challenge coming very soon with some more amazing PENNY BLACK prizes

Welcome back to Allsorts this week the lovely Helene is challenging you to use a heart as the main focus on your card......

I used this gorgeous Coco image from Digistamp Boutique which you can see here 

Coloured with Promarkers and papers from stash think these may be papermania but i'm not sure.

To give some extra interest to the image I cut around the little balloon hearts to make them stand out.....

Week 59 at Allsorts..... Create a scene!

Another gorgeous week of weather in Leeds!

and to top the week off we have a great theme this week at Allsorts from Brenda and she would like you to...

Create a Scene

This week I tried my hand at merging digital images or rather using more than one on my image,

 I used

Kira

and

Finnley

Both Images are from Digistamp Boutiqueand were so easy to use and resize

here is the card I made...

I really wanted to do some kind of water effect and I remember seeing this card on Emma Lockley's blog  a long time a go in one of our early Allsorts challenges  and wanted to give it a try.......

The wooden effect on the front is strips of brown paper I inked the edges and drew woodgrain on them with a sakura stardust pen for extra sparkle then cut through all the layers with a circle nestie to make the porthole.... I made a mirricard frame and embossed the 'rivets' then filled a  grip seal bag with hair gel and secured it in place with pinflair glue gel (bestest stuff ever)

i covered the reverse with a sheet of blue card with the same sized hole so you could see right through to the image on the inside of the card.....

I resized Finnley and flipped him so it could look like a small shoal of Finnleys swimming round the gorgeous Kira a bit of sakura sparkle and voila!!!!! 

It would be great to see your 

'create a scene' cards and dont forget the...
