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...
