A Simple Kraft Easter Tag (edited)

Hi everyone and happy Sunday :)
Today I want to show you a super quick and easy tag for Easter (it's for my parents in law's Easter basket :) )
I stamped the Chick in Easteregg directly onto kraft cardstock, then I made an oval mask from scratch paper and wiped around the edges with some Adirondack Butterscotch ink. I then stamped the Spring-Flourish stamp repeatedly around the main image (with the mask still on the image). After removing the mask, I colored everything with watercolor pencils (without using any water!) and put some Icicle Stickles around the tag edges, added a crinkled ribbon ... finished :) 

After I posted the 'finished' Easter tag I thought there's something missing.. so I made a little extra tag with a German Easter Greetings saying ('Ein schönes Osterfest')

It was really sooooo easy and quick to create, but I like the result :)
