Guess what I've made as my inspiration card...yep! A shaker...a baby-themed shaker...with the sweetest sentiment and cutest Ladybug EVER!
A sponged distress ink background in baby colours, sequins, a couple of fabric flowers...Voila! The card has become the 'sole property' of my husband to celebrate the arrival of a colleague's new baby! Thrilled that my little bug is heading to a good home!

Oh my, you created a beautiful background for the oh so sweet little ladybug. Those pastels are perfect for welcoming a precious baby into the world. And that you made it a shaker is perfect. Babies (well maybe just a tad older than one coming home) do love their shakers! :) Big hugs!
So pretty, Carol! Love the soft rainbow colors & the adorable shaker behind the ladybug.
I flipped when I saw this Carol! I love the soft sherbet colors and how beautifully you blended them! Gorgeous!
AWE how soft and sweet!! I just love your fun shaker design with the soft blended colors and that little bug is just the CUTEST of all!! ;) Super fun!
Carol you are the absolute queen of blending colors beautifully! I love the whole layout of this card - the shaker with the words inside and that fun pastel Ladybug crawling over the top. Your husband is going to be bringing home lots of requests for more baby cards!
