So it was inevitable Penny Black Dance, Sing, Love would make an appearance and I have used it as the focal element surrounded by a more recent favourite release called Magnolia Rhapsody.
My Stamping Sensations share is just a lot of inky indulgence, stencilling, a Chocolate Baroque Butterfly stamped onto acetate.......it's actually dimensional but doesn't show on the photo............and a Visible Image sentiment, plus a couple of "metal bits" which I found sitting on a shelf in hubby's workshop........a touch of inspiration from Tracy Evans whose work I adore.
I thought I would show you the latest addition to our canine family, Azaria has wanted a Miniature Dachshund since she was a little girl and it wasn't too long after she had secured her first English teaching job that she registered with a breeder. Bramble arrived with us two weeks ago so in now ten weeks old, these photos were taken the other day, as you can see Lily was totally accommodating and they speak for themselves........
Stay safe everyone and I hope you will be joining in with our themes this month.

Two wonderful cards Brenda, loving all the inky details on your second one, but both are simply stunning!
Congrats on the new puppy, and how wonderful that Lily is getting along with him so well already!
Two beautiful cards, but I'm afraid the show has been stolen by Bramble! What a cutie, I do love mini dachshunds and if I ever get another dog I think it might be the one to get.
Bothe beautiful cards Brenda fabulous background on the second one -love the metal bits lol-my daughter keeps threatening to message Tracy lol I have her saving all her ring can pulls,bottle tops and the dries bits of her paint tubes-do you know she actually stopped me picking up some rusty nails I saw on the dog walk last week --oh yes not forgeting the numers in the T,rolls/kitchen roll inners lol

Two fabulous cards loving the verse on the first one and those vibrant colour# against that black butterfly are gorgeous. Loving you new puppy so cute Lily is Good mother substitute love and hugs Carole x
Very Beautiful cards!
I really love your hexagonal card Brenda, with that wonderful sentiment and the flowers stamped in those beautiful colours. The collage style card is gorgeous too and it's good to be reminded that home is a great place to find interesting embellishments! How adorable is Lily, allowing what I imagine to be an extremely bouncy little pup to leap about all over her! Eva is the same and puppies adore her! Take care, Vicky x
Lovely to see you got to use your hexagon die Brenda to make this Beautiful card the verse is a favourite of mine which I have but not used in a while , the flowers are so pretty, fab stamping on your second card and colours too. Your new addition is soo cute I would love to give bramble a huge big hug he looks so adorable ..hope your keeping well.
