A Beautiful Life... Stepping it Up!

Update: William is much better today! Thank you for your prayers and comments! :)

All our March Gina K Designs releases are now available for purchase! So sorry I had to miss the party for the first time in two years (did you even notice I wasn't there??) I am actually out of town right now, have been ALL week, but we come back tomorrow. I was able to pop in for just a couple minutes in the middle from my phone on the way back from the beach, but my son I fear scratched his cornea tonight* so this is a quick post of one of my "A Beautiful Life" card that Theresa uploaded for me during the festivities, thanks Theresa!

I stamped the frame on one of the quarter sheets of patterned paper included in the the new StampTV kit and the colored in the flowers and borders with Copics. TIP: I stamped out two butterflies to pop up, cutting one in half, you can use the halves for two side views of butterflies, this is a nice way to change up the image! :) I matted it onto Black Onyx and Bubblegum Pink. Easy peasy!

Now here is a quick step it up to add some punched scalloped corners and dew drops if you want to add a little somethin somethin! I wish I'd had my Stardust pen that day, LOL, too!

"have a beautiful day!"

*I'd so appreciate if you could keep my little William in your prayers tonight, I've scratched both corneas at two separate times and it was was the worst! I don't think it's as serious as mine or he'd be having a LOT more pain, but he's very miserable and hurting, and we have a big day of travelling tomorrow and the weekend coming up which makes trying to see a doctor tough. I will have to get my tip sheet for this new set up after we return!

  13. Melanie - what a BEAUTIFUL card. I do hope William's scratch is not too serious; eye scratches of any magnitude just aren't fun.
