MSS Sneak Peek Day 1: Believing Butterfly

 Hi, everyone! 
How are you tonight!?



I'm SUPER excited to share a card I made for the Market Street Stamps December Release Sneak Peeks!!


Here are the details of the release:
  • The December release stamps will be "sneaked" Monday-Wednesday at 7PM Central Time!
  • The full sets will be revealed on Thursday night!
  • Stamps will be available for sale following the reveal Thursday night!
  • The December release stamps will be 15% off in the store for an entire week following the release!! Want all of the sets? If you order the whole release they'll be 25% off for an entire week!! Can't beat that!


I am LOVING this new set- it's called Believing Butterfly and features the most beautiful butterfly and an equally beautiful sentiment to go along with it! You're going to LOVE this set!


Here's my card:



Ooohh... I had some fun with my Distress Stains... hehe. I started with a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Kraft cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment with Black Filigree Detail Embossing Powder. Then, I took Picket Fence Distress Stain (love this stuff by the way...) and rubbed it all over the sentiment in all different directions. I cleaned off all the excess stain from the sentiment with a baby wipe and then dry brushed over the cardstock with Brushed Corduroy Distress Stain. SO rustic, but pretty at the same time.


I stamped that amazing, super detailed butterfly on white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers! Then, I cut it out and adhered it to the card with the wings popped up for dimension! 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Don't miss the rest of the sneaks- go over to the Market Street Stamps blog to see even more beautiful projects and find out how YOU can win this set!

See ya tomorrow with another sneak!

  2. I agree with you on that for sure..so rustic but beautiful all the same is right. I really have not gotten the knack of using my Distress Stains, but you sure have. I will give them another go out of the amazing inspiration I have gotten from this marvelous card. So well done Steph! Brilliant!
