Tea and Cake

An Etsy customer ordered a card for her mum's 70th birthday. Her mum enjoys tea and cake and playing Rummikub, and she likes Robins and reading, she told me. She sent me a few photos of mum to help me create her paper portrait.

I have shown mum sitting at a little table. She has a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other. A little robin is perched on top of the book. A pink teapot and a slice of cake are on the table in front of her.
My customer was delighted when she received the card:
"Your lovely card arrived this morning in the post to brighten up my day. It is absolutely perfect and captures her [mum's] personality."
She then followed that message up to tell me that her mum was shocked when she saw the card. "You got her spot on!"
