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...

Its been a while!!

Well its been ages since I posted and unfortunately with good reason as my other half is being made redundant and I just havnt had the urge to craft.( or to comment especially sorry for the wonderful crafters who join in the Allsorts and Forever friends challenges who I DT on normal commenting will resume a.s.a.p)...I was putting all my efforts into having a great family Christmas so we would remember it as a happy time and not one tainted with the unfortunate news!!

But we had a fantastic Christmas and I am now looking forward to get right back into the crafty stuff....

New Years resolution to always look on the brighter side ( as the diet I started yesterday didnt seem to agree with the baileys I have just had lol!!)

So to start my crafty new year off I decided to join in with the always fab challenge at Papertake weekly which was a fab sketch from Dawny P

I used a fab coco image from Digistampboutique so pretty and lovely to colour, papers are from my minds eye and flowers are from my stash

The next card is for the challenge at Anyone for Anya and the theme this week is anything goes so I made thsi card for my sil she loves pink so thought she would like this,

The image was given to me by the lovely Tasha thanks hun
