Serendipity Wednesday ~ Celebrate Baby.....

Good Morning!

I hope that things will start to quiet down around here now that my kids went back to school tomorrow and next week my new renters will move in to one of my rental properties I have had to show all summer.  I feel like summer flew by with the kids camps and BOTH of my rental properties were vacant so I spent the majority of my "free" time showing the properties and CLEANING as well as the yards!  I am so tired of cleaning and keeping up with 3 homes!  Needless to say, my house is the home that was so neglected but now, I am starting to feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel.   Enough of my babbling and on to my card!

Today's Serendipity Stamps challenge is to celebrate baby.  I used THIS darling carriage set on my card today but this isn't the ONLY baby stamp Serendipity has!  You can see all of their darling baby themed stamps HERE!

 

The base of this card is Select White with a mat of light brown Bazzill.  I then added a layer of Kraft and 5 layers of DP from October Afternoon's Fly A Kite Collection that I punched using my Doily punch.  I added a Select White strip under the bottom doily layer and narrow white Offray ribbon on the top.

The image was stamped on Select White using Cocoa Momento and cut out using my square Nesties.  I colored using a combination of Ranger Antique Linen ink & blender pen and Copic Markers.  Here is a closer look at the darling detail of the image ~

I made a little bow from the Offray ribbon and topped it off with a little pink button and linen thread.  I added pink Liquid Pearls on the little heart pillow although it is hard to see.  Before removing the Nesties, I sponged Antique Linen ink on the edges and then matted using the same light brown Bazzill CS.

Be sure to check out what the girls made for today's challenge!

Oh that is so precious! I love how you used the border punch to make the ruffles, very pretty!

A perfect card for baby, Lynda! I love your soft coloring, and the ruffles add some fabulous texture!

So adorable Lynda. That sweet baby carriage is beautifully colored and the "ruffles" add the perfect touch.

Super sweet -- the sponged edges and little jute string give the perfect "old fashioned" feel to pair up with that great baby buggy!
