Morning (edited Monday evening to say it was when I started this post !) everyone, it seems like it's going to be one of those weeks, poor little Poppy was settling in so well until she decided horses looked like a good option for playtime. On a routine 'loo' trip Sunday morning she took off like grease lightening, across the garden through the electric fence, across one paddock, past placid Ben who just watched her and into Heskeys paddock.
Bad move, he's got some Arab in him and dances like a prima ballerina as a normality and as at least two cockerels have discovered to their peril, he hates anything round his feet. One massive yelp and we really feared the worse, but she is one lucky pup. Sunday afternoon was spent at the vets and again yesterday for more checks and they confirmed nothing broken just cuts and bruises, something of a miracle when you consider her size against Heskey. So lots of cuddles as she is feeling pretty sorry for herself, but things could have been far, far worse.
Needless to say no crafting happening here, so my share is one I made a few weeks ago with some basic inking and masking, Art Impression and Lavinia stamps and Adirondack Ink. We have so many rabbits jumping about in the fields the last few weeks which inspired this card.........artistic licence with the sun as that's still is short supply here in the UK.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Pans Pastels - Summertime
Simon Say's - A bit of brown
Thanks for popping in, I am doing my best to get round all my blog buddies, but it's taking time with the poorly furry bundle to look after.

A really lovely card Brenda with some fabulous brayering.
I hope Poppy is recovering from her nasty fright and you as well as she certainly had a lucky escape by the sound of it.
Hugs, Fliss xx
That's a great card! Sorry to hear Poppy had to learn the hard way about horses!Glad she'll be all right!
This is pretty gorgeous Brenda love how you've done the sun and artistic licence granted - you did well to remember what it looks like its so long since I've seen it!
I'm guessing the puppy won't run off anymore! Glad she's ok
Hugs Laurie xx

Love the brayer background and gorgeous country scene Brenda. Your poor wee pup, so pleased he's going to be okay. Had a few heart stopping excapeds with ours with cattle yours gone by. They think they can take on the world, little rogues they are. Carolxx

Awwwww poor wee Poppy, Im sure she was terrified the poor wee mite. I just can't help but "Awwwwww" when I think of a wee puppy all scared and shaking. At least nothing was broken. Hopefully though it has given her enough of a scare that she won't consider the paddock as a good puppy adventure playground. This card is fantastic Brenda, I would love to know how you did the sun. Its amazing. Any chance of a tutorial? Yes? No? Am I pushing my luck? When do I ever not says you, lol. Lee x
Poor wee thing. She would have safer to play with those cute bunnies!
AW poor pup, he will learn the hard way!
Beautiful card love the rays and bunnies, so sweet!
Gosh Brenda .. .. I bet that was a scary moment!!!
Thank goodness she is OK.
Love your card. You always make me smile when you say "some basic inking".
Have a good day.
Love Jules xx

What a beautiful scene and soft light you have created. I am still catching up from when Blogger was misbehaving, but now I have changed to Google Chrome it's great! I love your wonderful photographs, especially the foxgloves, what wonderful cards you could make with them, and the same with your holiday photographs :o)

Take Care ...

Oh Brenda - that sounds like more than just a handful of very frightened terrier. I hope she recovers well but with some memory of what she should not do. I'm glad that it wasn't a dire ending for Father's Day. I had to smile at this for I've just used this combination of colours & entered the very same challenges. I didn't have any rabbits though....... now there's a gap in my stamp collection that needs plugging.
Take care with the little furry bundle.

Hi Brenda you sound like me have quite a collection of different stamps I don't have that many penny black couple of clear sets and maybe two or three other would you be interested in doing a stamped image swap? let me know and we can talk some more thanks from Lisa
Hi Brenda, your card is beautiful as always, another gorgeous scene you have created, I love the rays of sunshine. Awwww poor little Poppy, you must have been so worried but I suppose as you say considering the size difference she is a very lucky pup, I hope she has a speedy recovery and that she remembers not to go through there again. I hope that you are ok and that the stress of it all didn't have too bad an impact on you. Thank you for joining in with the PanPastel challenge blog

ooh hoo what an adventure, lucky pup!
Beautiful card!
Thank you for that gorgeous card you sent me, luv it;-))m
Love the sun burst and the lovely bunnies Brenda. Poppy certainly was a lucky doggie, and I hope she is recovering well. Hope you are keeping well. xx
Beautiful card - it's great having nature so close! Hope little Poppy is on the mend. Ruth x
Lovely card Brenda, love how you make this style of card.
Poor Poppy, hope she's recovering well from her cuts and bruises and fright. Would it be too optimistic to hope she's learned something? I think my daft mutts are a bit wary of anything bigger than themselves. Bit of a surprise considering how rash they can be at times!
Take care,
Kat xx
Lovely card! :)
Wow o wow Brenda, this is awesome .. I love the style and the gorgeous stamping ... so sorry to hear about Poppy, hope she's recovering well now. Hugs xx
Love the scene you have created. Poppy is so lucky, I hope she continues recovering well and quickly.
