"Baby Shower" Card - Challenges

This card is for two challenges:
My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday
The Pink Stamper's Color Challenge


For My Creative Time's Challenge, we were suppose to use NEW ARRIVAL, but I unfortunately don't own that cart. But I did use "older" carts and kept with the "theme".

For The Pink Stamper's Challenge, we were suppose to use Pink, Brown, Orange and Green.

This card measures 6X6.


Upclose mom.
After editing this post - I rounded off the mom's movable arm, to look more realistic. AND rounded the corners of the card:)

TIP:
Transferring SMALL cuts

Ever have SMALL cuts you need to transfer, but don't want to "mess" up??
These are the spokes for the wheel on the carriage.



I grabbed some transfer tape (normally used with vinyl).

Rubbed over the spokes.

Flipped the transfer tape over, added adhesive and placed over wheels. I rubbed gently to adhere glue, then removed transfer tape after a few moments.


CARD in PROGRESS:
Layout in Gypsy.
