Daisy Punch Sunflowers
Sunflowers are such a cheery sight this time of year, and they are so easy to make with the Daisy Punch. I layered three daisies stamped with Crushed Curry ink on Crushed Curry cardstock for the flowers, and I used a 1 3/8″ circle of Early Espresso, embossed with the … Continue reading
