Thinking About You card


I always like visiting my grandparents farm as a child and seeing cattails next to the pond in the field.  Never wanted to venture in myself to get some but my parents would occasionally grab me some when out duck hunting.  This was a fun stamp to color, even though it did not use very many different Copics.
