A Double Liebster Award and a Card

                       

I am so honored to say that I was hit not once, but twice with the LIEBSTER award.  They say that Liebster is German meaning dearest, and can be used for favorite or beloved as well.  In light of sharing this love I want to thank my two friends that have bestowed this award onto me.

TODAY’S CARD

I was stamping in the light of SPRING.  Wanted the card to reflect light springy colors and you know it had to have a flower……or two.

         

I first embossed the three circles on a strip of smooth Whisper White card stock.  Then punched three circles making them just a tad smaller than the embossed circles and using matching cardstock with the corresponding flowers – Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise.  I then added a strip of Tempting Turquoise down the center topping off the left side with a bow.  The charm attached to the bow is actually a coffee pot……..looked like a watering can to me!  *smiles*

Looking closer ~

       

Notice the buttons for the flower centers with the thin strips of card stock run through the button holes.  The thin strips where then curled with a skewer.

The inside ~
                     
If you look closely you can see how each flower petal was curled up on the ends and kind of twisted to one side.  Not the best picture I know.  With such warm days, the fog here sets in until about noon or so and then I have lost my picture taking spot.  Grrrrrrr!
I hope your first weekend of Spring is a good one!  Thank you so much for finding the time to visit!

Lots of crafty hugs to all!
