Today I've used the Bit of Burlap background stamp with my Distress Inks. Starting with cardstock stamped in versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder, I sponged on Barn Door Distress Ink. You can add a little or a lot. The color is up to you. Then going back over my panel with Tea Dye and Frayed Burlap Distress Inks to give it a weathered look.
The LOVE sentiment is from the Hippie Chic stamp set and was white heat embossed on red cardstock, cut out, mounted on brown die cut shape, and popped up over my twine embellishment.
I'm sure you will see me using lots of these background stamps.........they are a favorite of mine! Do you have a favorite Market Street Stamp background? I'd love to hear yours!
Don't forget tomorrow starts the Market Street Sketch challenge. So check back then for more inspiration using a SKETCH from the Design Team.

I have recently discovered your blog. DON'T ask me what took me so long. Anyway, I'm working my way backwards, and will try not to comment on everything, but this card made me stop and gasp. I LOVE what you did with that Bit of Burlap stamp. AND-- I have that stamp. I'm so excited to try this. It's brilliant. I never would have thought of using anything but versamark, but I love what a BOLD statement the white embossing makes. I only have 2 of these--bit of burlap and the zebra, but I love them both.
