Make A Card | Hello 40 Shaker Card

I made this card for my friend AJ’s 40th birthday.  I decided to use gold elements for some elegance and masculinity.  I didn’t think cutesy was the way to go this time,  ha ha!  I made it a shaker card by adding some gold sequins behind the diecut numbers.  There’s acetate backing the 40 so that the sequins don’t fall out.

Size: 4.25” x 5.5” vertical

Techniques:  manual diecutting, shaker elements
