Morning everyone, a new challenge at Allsorts and Dena would like to see embossing, either dry and heat. This months fabulous bundle of prizes come from Stampendous, Oakwood Direct and WOWVOW.
We were all coming to terms with losing Lab Lily last week, then yesterday Ben had to be put to sleep. We bought him for Anysia when she was ten and he seven, he was her best friend so it goes without saying she is totally devastated, as are we all. Big Ben as we called him was 28 and I'll share the photo again of him and Anysia just a few weeks ago when they had a haul of rosettes eventing.
At the top a card made some time ago but never blogged, heat embossed the AALL and Create border stamp Create Sunshine using detail gold EP. Coloured in (afraid don't remember what with!!) and added a colour wash of blue around the image and just matted onto coordinating cardstock, a pretty simple make.
Have a good weekend all.

Great card for the challenge. Such sad news about another loss - it never rains but it pours, Take care, hugs xx
So sorry to hear about Ben, Brenda. I can’t begin to imagine how devastated you must all be.
Two gorgeous cards. I love the delicate colours of the first one and the second one is so striking. xx
Love the delicate stamped image and colours on your first card,a complete contrast to the dark background and more vivid colours on the second.Sorry to read that Ben had to be put to sleep,thinking of you and Anysia.
Oh, my heart goes out to you losing your wonderful, sweet babies. Great pictures for remembrance.
I love the softness of the first card and the gorgeous colors on the second card.

I don't know how you managed to make such pretty cards in the midst of such sadness but they're both lovely. My heart breaks for you all having to part with life-long friends. Death is part of living but it never comes easy when you have to face it. Sending warm hugs your way today.
Oh no! So sorry Brenda, a terrible blow coming so soon after the loss of Lily, you must all be reeling. Poor Anysia.
Both your cards are beautiful. I particularly like the first one, the delicate colours and beautiful gold embossing.

The gold embossing looks great with the pink and blue on your first card and I love the contrast with the black background on your dry embossed card. I think you have mastered that technique. So sorry that you have suffered another loss of one your very precious animals. There will be lots of happy memories though xx
Two gorgeous cards Brenda. I still haven't tried the technique with the black background, but must have a go sometime. So sorry to hear of your second loss, such a sad time for you all x
So very sorry for both losses. It's so hard to say goodbye. Sending hugs. Love your cards, the colours are great. Keep well and be blessed. Anesha x
Beautiful flowers on both! But liking the colours on the first most... Great combi with the gold and pink. Hope you spent your weekend with the fam. in these sad times...

Two beautiful cards Brenda. Sorry to read about another loss of one of your loveled animals. Marlies
Oh no, anche Ben!!! Due grandi amici che se ne vanno, in così poco tempo...!! è davvero un momento tristissimo per te e per la tua famiglia. Immagino il dolore di Anysia, non credo che se lo immaginasse nonostante l'età di Ben, così poco tempo dopo la premiazione! E la decisione di far addormentare i propri animali è sempre devastante. :(( Abbracci a tutti voi...
Due stupende creazioni per Allsorts, così diverse per colori e designs! Quella con la Dalia è dolcissima e delicata, adoro la palette rosa e azzurra con l'aggiunta dell'oro! La seconda è così vibrante e unica, mi piace molto come il nero fa emergere i colori random dei bei fiori! Devo provare questa tecnica, prima o poi.
Tanti abbracci, spero che troviate presto dei momenti di serenità
So sorry to hear about Ben, he must have had a great life with your family to get to such an old age though.
Great cards, as usual Brenda. x
Gorgeous cards Brenda, with beautiful designs and colours.
I'm so sorry another sadness has hit your home. It won't help now, but the photos will be lovely to look back on, and with pride too, when she is over the complete sadness she must feel now.

Beautiful embossed cards Brenda xx
A beautiful gold embossed card, I really need to start embossing in gold again. Your second card is another fab one with the technique you used before.
Oh Brenda that was a double dose of heartbreak! They get deep inside your heart for ever. Needless to say I absolutely love your cards. The first one especially calls to me with that lovely gold and pink mix.
So sorry to hear the loss of Ben, especially coming so soon after Lily. It's just heartbreaking.
Your cards are both stunning, I love all the gold embossing on the first one. Big Hugs Brenda, Kate x
Beautiful card Brenda as always your so talented, so very sorry to read about the loss of Ben sending lots of hugs x
A delicate design and the gold embossing really stands out.
