Cards | Happy Mother's Day

May 4

First up today, Scrapbook Update card team designer Corri Garza is bringing us a card featuring the products of designer Lori Whitlock, but from two different companies!

The beautiful pink papers on this card are from the Valentine's Day collection called "Love Story" that Lori designed for Echo Park Paper Company. Who said that you have to put away your seasonal products when the season is over? Lori's beautiful feminine pink designs in "Love Story" are perfect for Mother's Day, and would also do well for other occasions like birthdays and baby girls.

In addition to the Echo Park paper collection, there's more beautiful Lori Whitlock elements hiding in this card! Lori also designs cut files for the Silhouette Online Store. The 3D flower (which coordinates beautifully with the roses in the patterned paper), the leaves, and the tag are all Lori's designs. I've been wanting to try making 3D flowers, and after seeing what Corri did with this file, it is definitely going on my Silhouette wish list!

Ink: Ranger Tim Holtz Distress (Worn Lipstick, Peeled Paint, Antique Linen), Tsukineko Staz-On (Jet Black). Stamps: Scrappy Moms (All In The Family).
