I combined three images ( onesie,diaper pin & bottle) from the Doodle Pantry digital stamp set called 'Oh Baby'. They were merged using  Microsoft Word. This stamps set comes with coloured and non coloured images, digital paper and sentiments.  I printed the diaper pin and baby bottle out twice, cut them out and using foam tape placed the bottle and the head of the pin over the originals for a dimensional effect. 

Card recipe:

• Stamps: Doodle Pantry 'Oh Baby'; Impression-Obsession background stamp 'Stitches'
• Prismacolor markers (the diaper pin head and the baby bottle were pre-coloured images and used to make the items dimensional)
• Button 
• Stickers and a rhinestone
• Ribbon
• Die Cuts:  Spellbinders Shapeabilities 'Symbology'; Procraft baby& accessories die cut  
• Embossing:  heat embossed background layer   and dry embossed the panel behind the image frame with Stampin' Up's Fancy Fan folder
