Hippie Birthday!!

Today is my MIL's birthday.
She is a true hippie at heart. She washes her feet and doesn't
reek of Patchouli, but she is quite a free spirit.
She is quite a prolific crafter, and she is also the person who introduced me to the world of polymer clay.
Basically, as far as MILs go, she ROCKS!

I had this perfect digital image from Sassy Studio Designs,
and I paired her up with some hippie-type paper (from the $ store, I think).
Then I attempted the new hair coloring technique that I saw recently.
Not real happy with it, but practice makes pefect right?

What's a hippie without fleurs?!

Voila! 
I layered 5 paper Primas, and then as if that weren't enough, I added a flower brad.
Then, I glued a peace sign button onto the brad and Stickled it!
My MIL is one of my biggest fans as far as my cards go, and she keeps all of the cards I have made for her and my FIL in a basket by her front door to show people.
She keeps her favorites displayed on the table in her foyer.
I think I'll be seeing this one in the foyer next time I'm at her house.
