Hello Crafty Friends & Welcome to Mark's Finest Papers December Stamp Release. This month were changing things up a little. Were cutting down our hop list by giving you all a two week hop. This week the Red Team is show casing these three stamps above. Our BLUE team is show casing these stamps on MFP blog. You don't have to visit the ones on MFP blog but our BLUE team would still love your sweet comments. I created for cards for you all. And this stamp set went perfect with dry embossing.

This card use the cute butterfly. I stamped and paper pieced this butterfly six times using papers from Teresa Collins: Summer Stories Paper pack. I love the soft colors and thought this would be perfect. I used an Argyle Embossing Folder. I used Tim Holtz Distress "Tattered Rose" Ink. 

For this card I kept things clean and simple. I embossed with a alphabet folder and used the sentiment "Hello" and used Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Tumbled Glass. I love the all the blue on this card. I used gems to finish my card.

For this card I used an embossing folder called "" and used some Tim Holtz Distress "Milled Lavender" to distress the edges. I colored this beautiful flower in with my Sharpie Markers. If you look at each flower closely you will see I did some blending. I really love this flower. I left the centers white to help pull all the colors together. I add add gems.
