The card was posted on Facebook by my customer and her mum commented that "He [Dad] loves the card".
My own dad also recently celebrated a birthday. He is very supportive of my creative business and is an avid reader of my blog. He doesn't comment on every post I write, but does occasionally drop me a line when something stands out for him. "Lisa, I love the Daria papercut card" he recently wrote, so I knew what card to make him for his big day. I changed the heart to a star and lined the card with an amber paper inlay, since Dad's football team, Hull City AFC, traditionally play in black and amber.
Finally, Eitan turned 17 back in April. His mum asked me for a card with driving as the theme since he was going to receive lessons as his birthday present. Mum liked the idea of putting an ל-plate on the card. The square plate with a blue background and white triangle pointing upwards, with the black Hebrew letter "ל" in it, from the Hebrew למידה - "Learning", is the Israeli version of the L-plate. I also added a few road signs and a big yellow number 17 to mark Eitan's age, all on the background of a swirling black road. I just had to add the camel crossing road sign as it is so quintessentially Middle Eastern!
