A Christmas baby....

Who wouldn't want to celebrate the birth of a Christmas baby with a pram like THIS?!!! I can't get enough of this pram. My Mum had a Silver Cross pram for 3 of us, wearing out and replacing 3 sets of wheels, looking after it really well. She got rid of it then promptly got pregnant with my youngest brother! BUMMER!!!(not the birth of my brother, getting rid of the pram!)
I used an Easy Easel base and Papermania Honey & Hugs Feative Frolics papers. I added red cardstock for the pram and as an accent colour for matting and layering and for the punched border. The pram base was cut from silver mirri and the pram body was cut from red pearlescent cardstock from The Paper Mill. I drew around the body of the pram and the hood then cut it out by hand to save paper (you don't need the wheels)
I added holly leaves (waste from an MS punch) to the hood of the pram along with some red gems for berries and added some punched holly leaves and a Papermania mini poinsetta from last Christmas' stash. A couple of green candy dots on the wheel hubs complete the pram. I mounted the pram onto a shaped panel which was adhered to the card with foam tape. A layered Poinsetta and bow were added to the card beside the pram. 'Little One' was cut from more red pearlescent card and layered with silver mirri. This was adhered to the border along with some punched holly leaves and more gems.
Carts used:
Pram- Mother's Day
Shaped panel- Winter Woodland
'Little One'- Stamping Solutions
Thanks for looking & have a great day!
