Ella and Shai

Ella's boyfriend Shai was turning 30. Shai's favourite football team is Beitar Yerushalayim, Beitar Jerusalem Football Club, she told me. He likes to drink beer, reads a lot of books and they love to get Golda frozen yoghurts together. Ella was taking Shai to Amsterdam for his birthday so she asked me to include something to something to represent that as well. Finally she wanted a large number 30 on the card and of course a paper portrait of the two of them. Shai can't be seen without his dark navy sunglasses on his head too. Could I add them too?

I have shown the young couple on Shai's birthday card. They are sharing a frozen yoghurt and holding hands. Shai has a beer in his other hand. To his right is the badge of his beloved football team, Beitar Jerusalem, along with a small pile of books. Shai's navy sunglasses are perched on top of his head. To Ella's left is a little illustration of Amsterdam. I added a big heart and the number 30 to mark his age.

The Hebrew greeting on the card says "Mazal Tov (Congratulations) to my Shai".
Ella's dad collected the card for her. "My dad just sent me a photo of the card! It looks AMAZING!!! I can't wait to give it to Shai! Thank you so much!" she wrote to me.
