Cathi is 65!

I needed to make a card for a friend of mine who is turning 65!  Wow!  She truly doesn't look a day over 50 - I was shocked when I heard the number!
 
I played with those pretty flowers again but decided to turned it into a shaker card.  Here's what I came up with:
I watercolored the flowers and cut out the center of the rectangle to make the shaker.  It's popped up on double sided sticky foam.  I added microbeads and acetate and there you have it! 
Pretty if I do say so myself!
 
Here's a close up so you can see the rub on butterflies and the teeny tiny 65 rub on showing that it truly IS the big day!
 
I hope you like it!
 
I am leaving Tuesday for the Prima Artventure in Phoenix!
 
 
Can't wait!
