10 Minute Monday - Kitchen Sink Stamps

One way to create a quick and easy card design is to cut down on embellishments (which also makes your card easier and cheaper to mail). The challenge today is to pick a fun designer paper that compliments your Kitchen Sink image to be the stand-alone embellishment for your card design.
