Today's card features 4871 Rustic Container Set. I also used 4868 WC Flower Set 2 , 4867 WC Foliage Set 2 New, and 4051 Foliage Set 1. This was soooo quick and easy to color. It took me a grand total of about five minutes to color this! This is the demo I showed at our spring camp last month up at Lake Tahoe, so you might have seen a glimpse of it on my Facebook page. Everyone loved coloring it!  When I got home, I found some matching paper and turned it into a very quick card!
