Wishing you all a lovely Mother's Day

Both are gorgeous, but I love that Iris! My Mom's name is Iris, but her card won't be adorned with one this year - wanna trade? haha

These are both awesome cards, Lisa. I especially like the second one. I have some silhoutte stamps that REALLY need some attention. Thanks for the inspiration.

Lisa you are one of the few people who can create many cards from one set and make them all look beautiful! I usually use a set and switch to something else, lol! That may be why there are SO many stamps in my studio.

Both are simply outstanding cards. Beautiful work as always. I especially like the top card. Of course I'm partial to blue, but your WC Distress is amazing. Gorgeous....
