Lilach & Ian

Ian wrote to me to tell me that he and his wife were soon to be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. Could I make a card for him? He sent me a photo to work from and I set to work re-creating it out of paper...
Of course, little did he know that Lilach, his wife, had already been in touch and made her own request for a card! She told me that their favourite place is the beach and that they met in Israel, so that should definitely be included in the design.
I suggested showing the couple holding hands and waving Israeli flags. A beach scene is behind them and a big number 20 marks their years of marriage. I added a big red heart for good measure.
Of course they were surprised to see the cards on the day of their anniversary. "We love Lisa's cards and had no idea we both got them!" Lilach wrote on Facebook.
