Baby Card and Vintage Pram

 Morning and we have a new ATG challenge at The Crafty Addicts-I was asked for a Baby card and  found an old image printed out from a couple of years ago(as still no printer) Vintage Pram from Just Inklined, don't think they are still in production!Coloured the image with promarkers and a silver gel pen on the metal parts(not that it shows!!!) A scrap of P.paper/ribbon and dewdrops from stash  to match box, with some Angel hair on background,die-cut frame I think is Memory Box packaging long gone!I remember having a pram similar to this for my eldest two but not with the big wheels and had a tray underneath for your shopping-or son used to lay on it with a blanket.I had a pram seat that went on the top for my son to sit on too with daughter in the pram much better than the prams today.

Travel postcard

 Morning and I have two DT posts today-the first one is for the Anything Stamped/Around The World challenge at Stamping Sensations.

I struggled with this theme until I found a really  old stamping set behind a box of card-World Travel Set from Rubber Stampede.

I used a piece of a background already made with inks and stamps and made a postcard.I stamped onto the background then stamped the suitcase/postcards and camera and the half stamp in the corner and stuck them onto the card, glossy accents was added to the camera lens.


 There are two prizes on offer this month---
