A Top Note Baby Carriage

I was trying to think of something different for a baby swap i am in and i was looking at the top note die as a possibility. I didn't really want to use the top note as a background because i feel like i tend to do that...A LOT!


(I love that thing!!)




So..i was sitting here at midnight the other night and started cutting it up and this is what i came up with!!


The carriage body is the top note cut- I cut the dsp and scalloped the edges..The wheels are the 1 3/8 in. circle punch (all materials used are Stampin' Up!)
I wish i had the Pretties Kit- i think pearls would have been REALLY cute in the wheels rather than the eyelets...
The hood to the carriage is the corner of the top note trimmed with the SAB dsp and attached with a silver brad- i left the hood free so it does move up and down.
The handle to the carriage is made from the curly label punch- i re-punched it to make it look like a graceful handle....i tried a few options for the handle- but liked this on the best!!
Thanks for looking and as usual comments ALWAYS appreciated!! :)
~Happy Stamping!

How cute and clever is this!!! I've seen baby carriages with circles, but never with the top note die. I love it. Great idea!
