LOVE LEANNE Stampede Day 4--T is for Thankful

Leanne Ellis Stamps make me very thankful for my little world of creativity!  Wild Rose is today's featured stamp and its off-beat approach to giving screams for the fact that you can be a little left of centre and still be full of love and loveliness!

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

I continue to struggle to use purple... but I tried!  Part of the struggle is the obvious lack of supplies, I don't exactly buy purple things "just because"!!  But I found some core to emboss, and then there is that dreaded ribbon, which I am happy to report I am down to my last length, one more card and that baby will be successfully used, as in completely, as in didn't waste any, even though I have been tempted to throw it out on many an occasion!!!

I left a straight edge around the image this time, with an embossed border and paired this with some neutral paper, and a pass of much neglected lace.  I decided on a sentiment right at the end and reached for these pre-punched tiny tags, which I keep in a stash all cut out in XpressIt Blending Card, this means I can colour them at any time to match what I am working on, in this case with two shades of Copic Purple, adding the "Wish" right at the end...

So here is my Leanne Ellis enabling message:

  2. I'm going to forgive you your dislike (or lack) of purple! Its my most favourite colour - and only truly spesh peeps in my world receive anything that uses something from my purple stash, hehehe.
    You've done a truly magnificent job here, honey - love the colouring and the speckling with Copics on the stamped panel.
    This one is now my favourite - has to be, it's got purple on it. xxx

  3. ooh yes this is my fav!!!!!! Love the white edge around the frame!! It sets the image off so well.
    The embossed card is fabulous and your little heart tag is perfect!!!!
    I;ve so enjoyed each and every one of these.........perhaps you should put them in a frame together above your work desk......I think I would!
