Milk Can Arrangement

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Today’s card was made with one of my favorite stamp sets.  I really like the country, old-fashioned look.  You can color the image to make it appropriate for any season.  This brings back memories of when it was popular to decorate your front porch with a milk can.  Yes, I had one on my porch!  It was always fun to walk in the fields or woods and find items to make a bouquet.  Now, in my area, it’s hard to find cattails.  One of the things that I really like about this stamp is – you guessed it - the cattails.   

You might think my card took a long time to make, but actually it takes very little time.  Copic markers make coloring really quick and easy.  Fussy cutting took the most time, but even that went quickly, and I love to do it.  Now it's your turn!
