I used a succulent rather than a cactus (or I guess a cactus IS a succulent??!), changed the design slightly and made mine a retirement card as I have a former co-worker's retirement party to attend on Tuesday!
I didn't make mine a shaker - but did add clear sequins scattered about to give the impression of a shaker!
I colored my image using Tombow Markers and a Clear Glitter Wink of Stella to spread the color around - so IRL it is quite sparkly in the light!

Beautifully done from inspiration of Becky's fun card. Love the image of the succulent. The circle die like a doily is a nice backdrop. Love the paper. The scallop edges of the card base are terrific. The sequins are a nice touch. Well done. To answer your question, all cactus are succulents that can store water, but not all succulents are considered to be a cactus. TFS
