You are my Sunshine

 

Skrev i den forrige bloggposten min om de flotte månedlige kits'ene man kan få fra Hero Arts, og her er et par kort jeg lagde med det som kom i September i fjor. Det var litt vanskelig å stemple korrekt oppå hverandre med solsikke stemplene, så det var litt frustrerende, selv med hjelp av MISTI verktøyet mitt.. men jeg fikk det jo til til slutt da 🌞
Solsikken har vært min favoritt blomst helt siden jeg var ei lita jente, den eneste blomsten jeg har brydd meg om å plante i hagen 🌻 og jeg har etterhvert samlet mange pyntegjenstander, bilder og stempler med solsikke motiv 🌞

 🌻 MMH September 2017 Sunflower kit 🌻

In my previous blogpost I wrote about the fantastic Hero Arts monthly kits, and today I have a couple cards I made with last years September kit 🌻 It proved a bit difficult to line up the sunflower stamps correctly, even with my MISTI tool ~ layering stamps are frustrating for a perfectionist like me 😉
The sunflower has been my favourite flower since I was a little girl, and it was the only flower I've ever cared to plant and grow in the garden. I've also accumulated quite a large number of sunflower decorations through the years, and ofcourse whenever I see a pretty sunflower stamp I have to have it!🌞
