LOVE LEANNE Stampede Day 1--G is for Grace

Here is the first post in the LOVE LEANNE Stampede Feature... in case you need a little background info!

Leanne Ellis Stamps have style and grace and give me the warmest embrace!  Belle Flower is today's featured stamp and how graceful is she... I love how dainty she looks in this dress and the kindness in the way the flower is offered...

I really wanted to try to keep embellishments to a minimum on this card so the focus remained on the image, so I went with a gentle weave for the background, and a simple pass of lace with my customary twine and button to hold the sentiment.

There is a gentle border around the background paper, just a simple embossed line all the way around with my well used ScorPal, sweet!

Girly hey!!??  I really had to stop myself from putting tiny little bits of bling all over the skirt on this one... something for next time I get this little beauty out!

And I must also say, praise to the Copic E40's, some of my newest loves!!

  3. So...I went backwards with the posts...quite deliberate, you know. I really love the colours you've combined on this card. It all adds to the ethereal quality she has about her. The weaving and lace/button/twine treatment is the perfect, understated accompaniment to this gorgeous image.
    My NEW favourite (though I think its fairly safe to say I love them all). I didn't purchase any of these in the digi's I got Leanne's store - so shall have a look at the rubber stamps when my January shopping embargo is ended!!
    One day to go!! I know you've saved the best for last...right!!
    Big hugs. xxxx
