This template was designed to coordinate with the Tending the Garden Pretty Impressions stamp set. You may also want to check out the Gardening Apron, and Simple Seedling envelope/card set, as well as our coordinating Pretty Printables Digital Papers

Now it is easier than ever to create your own version, and I will share MANY options over the next couple of days!! There is something so simply appealing to me about the design of a simple watering can. It brings up so many fond memories or my own mother planting seeds each Spring. So much so that I decided to create this stunning 3 dimensional template for you to be able to make your own unique, and stunning gift presentations!There are so many possible uses for this beauty.  I simply cannot believe this is made from all cardstock. It is a marvelous presentation that is sure to make anyone wonder HOW you did it!

Here I stamped the frame in a darker green ink on my Pasture cardstock.I stamped the frame again onto white cardstock, and cut and layered it. Within the frame I stamped my whimsical version of a Pansy flower, and the sentiment "Bloom with Happiness".

I also stamped the leaf border that goes around the template.

For my handle I used some brads to make this template appear even more realistic!

The top panel leaves so many possiblities. Here I used the Picket Fence Digital Paper.

The spout is another great detail, you can do so many various things with it (as you will see soon!) to really add to the details.

I embellished mine by using a NEW! Perfect Pansy Pretty Pieces Cut File

When I designed this Perfect Pansy © Pretty Pieces Cut File I created it with my own mother in mind. I have very fond memories of my mother in the garden every year of my life. Every time I see a Pansy I think of her. She was forever planting Pansy’s each Spring. Our walkway was always lined with the pretty flowers. I often buy her Pansy’s yearly, as it brings such warm memories back to me. More photos further down  This is the other side of the watering can. ALWAYS decorate all sides of your projects!

There is a set of 10 floral scented tea lights which I stamped little covers to match my set. I used the same leaf images that I used in my border.They fit perfectly inside the watering can!

 All I did was give a little squeeze to the top to fit them inside.

I decorated a bird cage candle holder to match, using the Perfect Pansy Cut File!

Isn't this simply stunning? The close up of the Pansy is in the description above.

I thought it would be fun to include some information about the Pansy too!

The pansy is named from the French word "pensee" meaning thoughts, in particular the thoughts of lovers. The myth grew that you could see a loved one in the face of the pansy.

 Legend tells the flower was originally white, and blushed bright purple where it was pierced by Cupid’s arrow. This accounts for the flower's reputation of bringing thoughts of loved ones.

In Victorian times, the language of flowers evolved into a parlor game for sending secret messages to your loved one. A small bouquet of pansies meant "Think of me."

Shakespeare's famous character Ophelia used the meaning of the pansy to express herself in Hamlet: "There's Rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray you, love, remember. And there is pansies, that's for thoughts." In the 1880s pansies were one of the most popular flowers and remain so to this day. OK how about a card to match my project? Sadly I forgot to include it in the group photo, but it is obvious it is a perfect match.
