Morning all you crafty Peeps, this week at Allsorts we are getting all romantic with the theme of Love is all Around. We have two lovely sponsors this week, Buttons for Brains and Deedes Designs.
Just to explain my somewhat short or even missing comments on your blogs this week, we continue to have internet problems created by some sort of 'back door attack' on our server, it's all double dutch to me but I do know it's making life frustrating to say the least. As a result we are in the process of having servers changed..............all our internet, web site and mail comes via the office so it's not a quick fix and nothing moves quickly, but I am assured all should be resolved within the next week or so.............which at the moment sounds like forever away.

Onto my Allsorts card and it's another inky one from me or should I say Brusho's yet again, I had a heavy weekend of them a few weeks ago trying out different ways to use them. On the background of this one I soaked the Fabriano cardstock with water, sprinkled on the powders and then tilted the card back and forth so the colours ran and have to say I rather like the effect. Hubby was not so keen and said it looked "out of focus", ah well can't please them all. I then simply stamped Penny Black 3073K Brush Rose, painted the flowers with the same red Brusho colour, a ribbon and thread bow, a little red organzie rose and the sentiment is Penny Black 40-092 All You Need.
I thought I would also share one or two of my recent DT cards which have been on the Tattered Lace blog over the last week. I will have lots more to show you in the coming couple of weeks showcasing the upcoming Tattered Lace 2nd Anniversary releases which will be revealed on C&C from next Friday 13th, make a note in your diary as it's going to be a great week of shows with lovely new products.

All the dies and embossing folders used on these two cards are listed with each card on the Tattered Lace blog. The stamp on the above one is Penny Black and was inked with distress markers and spritzed with water before stamping.
The flower on this card was made using one of the TL corner dies, again instructions and products listed on the Tattered Lace blog.
Hope you all have a good weekend.

Both stunning makes Brenda, and I just want to say I LOVE your Brusho backgrounds!
Good luck with your internet troubles, - such a pain, but at least it's not your health...
Morning Brenda,
Wow what a beautiful rose, I love the brusho background, really effective. Your tattered lace creations really show the dies off beautifully, fabulous creations.
Happy crafting

Love these cards Brenda, the rose looks gorgeous and I have been keeping up to date with the Tattered Lace blog too. It scares me how reliant we are on computers these days, it's a bit like the youngsters permanently attached to their mobiles I guess!! Hope the back door attack" is sorted soon, it sounds nasty!! xx
Sorry to hear you are still having computer problems.. But you have created some fabulous cards...:)
Stunning cards Brenda, difficult to choose the favourite, but maybe the first one with rose, gorgeous.
Happy weekend;-))m
Gorgeous cards Brenda, all so different but sooo pretty, have a good weekend, xxx
Good morning Brenda
Love the Brusho card. I think the background words beautifully with the stamp. I always find that backgrounds improve as you continue to craft with them if that makes sense?!
I hope your internet is fixed soon. Technology is wonderful when it works but incredibly annoying when it doesn't although I am always amazed as to how much I now rely on it.
The Tattered Lace dies look as gorgeous as ever and I am now heading over to their website.
Enjoy your weekend

Beautiful elegantly designed cards Brenda, love the colours as well.xxx{The Journey is the Start – my personal blog}
Lovely,and beautiful cards Brenda.
Another beautiful selection of fabulous cards.All so different.
I hope the computer problem will not take too long. Still fascinated by your work of Brusho and not to mention the TL cards are beautiful too, Brenda! Somehow, I am drawn to the last card with the warm colours - guessed it's cold over here.
Lovely cards again today Brenda, love the flower on the second and WOW to the way the corner die has been used on the last - great idea x Susan x
Gorgeous designs B, after seeing your first one I think I'm going to treat myself to a play with my brushos this weekend, I need a crafty fix😘 Have a great weekend. Xxx

Wow Brenda, gorgeous collection again! You do take time to eat and sleep...right??? Love the easel card and your work with the brushos is fabulous!! big hugs :)
Gorgeous cards Brenda!
The top one looks like something from Monet!
Your artsy background on the first card looks amazing, Brenda. I have just googled Brushos and they look like a lot of fun.
Hope your Internet problems will be sorted out soon.

Wow! Each one is just stunning and the rose creation with vibrant colors is sooooo beautiful and romantic, just love it!
I love the top card - the background is beautiful!! it looks like it's been taken through a window in the rain. Soft focus and wonderful! Fingers crossed for the evening kick off - not a fan of the time, but ... hopefully Sturridge will continue his good recovery.
Wow your designs are all gorgeous, especially love the vibrant background on the top one and the layout of the bottom.... Have a wonderful weekend, Shirleyxx
All three cards are so beautiful Brenda the colours, embossing and die cuts look awesome.
hugs

All so very beautiful! Hope your internet issues get solved quickly for you. It can be very frustrating. Hubby just needs to expand his creative mind to grasp this. I think this is a fabulous technique....and probably a very quickly done card. I have some of those large roses and wasn't sure how to use them. Thanks for the inspiration, I can use them now. Hugs, Robin
They are all stunning, Brenda!
I love the "out of focus"effect!! Very bright and warm, it look as a dream...
Gorgeous cards, Brenda! Love the inked background and the die cuts! My favourite is the middle card - so beautiful! Hope you get your internet problems sorted soon - it sounds very frustrating!
Great cards. Hope your internet gets sorted soon.Take care.
A gorgeous selection of cards Brenda. The colours on your first card are stunning and your designs with the Tattered Lace goodies are so inspiring.

All three are really beautiful Brenda!!

I have noticed brushos tend to have a fuzzy effect but it's brilliant for background they are supposed to be out of focus to throw the main image forward. Personally I do like this background... Your Tattered Lace cards are beautiful and very well constructed, lots of careful details.
Hi Brenda, a set of fantastic cards as always and some fabulous colours and images. I also must apologise to you if I have not commented on your wonderful creations but I have been away.
Hope all is well with you.

Lovely b, I've got a set of brushos (brave or what) and learning how to use them x
gorgeous cards Brenda - every one - particularly love those pretty butterflies, hope your internet gets sorted soon - things like that are sooo frustrating hugs judith x
Am in love with this wonderful Brusho background & the beautiful rose. Your DH is totally wrong....the background is 'misty' - and just gorgeous! Love the effect that you've achieved with the Brushos. (of course the PB rose is stunning as well). Loving the other cards with the wonderful TL dies. Saw the rose at Allsorts, but in a hurry, so just now trying to catch up on commenting. The TL dies are marvelous, cut so smoothly. Just getting started on collecting some of these. TFS & Big hugs. Thanks for the heads up on the Valentine card that worked for Allsorts. Good luck with the server problem. We had a similar router problem last year, where we got hacked in. Big PITA.
Hello Brenda,
how are you doing? you made three lovely cards. I like the two first cards with that watercolourtechnique. very beautiful done.
kind regards, dora

I just love the colours of the Brusho's and how you have used them Brenda. All are lovely cards.
