Mallard Birthday for Bro

The card I'm featuring today was made for my Brother's Birthday on July 14 and is sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps.  I used three new stamp sets which included Mallard Ducks, Cattails and Isle of Big Bay Lake.  All of these clear multi step stamp sets are new releases from KSS.  They are so fun to work with and help the stamper to make beautiful cards with all of the layers of different colors. Hope you like his card!
