Mother's Day Present


A mother's Day present from my 4 year old son to his grandma. The Directions are on Lauren Meaders blog. Her original is Cocoa to go. I thought I would put Jiffy-Pots with seed packet in the carrier for my mom and my son to plant. He will get a kick out of planting with grandma. On Thursday my son brought home from his preschool a Pansies to plant with a cute saying about finger prints. So we just had to plant it. I had bought him a watering can because he loves to water the plants.
The image from PC Crafter I thought was prefect for this gift. I colored it with Copic, Marvy and a little bit of water colors. The hand is the scallop circle punch from Stampi' Up. I think she will love it.
