KSS Tag and Baker's Twine 10 Minute Design

For Kitchen Sink Stamps' 10 Minute Design #105, I have used my newest die cuts (Nesting Lace Circles by QuicKutz) to frame my Kitchen Sink images. I then tied them as tags with baker's twine to my card front.

Well, Angela inspired me with her fabulous ducks to give them a try today. When I checked in on the Splitcoaststampers' Color Challenge 226, I found the rest of the inspiration I needed. This card was created with a lot of masking and sponging of color. The ducks are from Ducks & Pigs Multi Step Clear Stamps being released by Kitchen Sink Stamps today! I added the grass from Honey Bunny and tied on the little turquoise bow!
