A customer requested a birthday card for her sister in the UK. She is a riding instructor and her showjumping career is a big part of her life. She also loves her dog. My customer sent me a photo of her sister with her dog and was keen for me to include it in some way.
I showed the birthday girl showjumping on her card. She is wearing white jodhpurs, a black tailored jacket and plain long black leather boots. I then showed her once again in the foreground, this time with her beloved dog.
"It's fabulous!" my customer wrote to me. "I am excited for her to see your art." She later told me that her sister loved the card and intends to keep it in her memory cabinet, once she's finished enjoying it on the window sill first.

What a lovely card! I would have loved this a good few years ago when I did a lot of horseriding x
That action shot - lovely!
a great composition with the jumping in the background and the lady and her dog in the foreground
What a great way to combine two of her loves in one card. I like the way you haven't kept it in the frame. Feels like you've just caught her before she galloped away. You've done a fabulous job on it. #mmbc
That is fabulous! My sister used to show horses and this reminds me of going to see her shows.
Love the horse in action. Have you ever had a card request when you haven't been able to do it? It seems that no matter the recipient's interests, you always capture them perfectly. xx
your cards amaze me every time! exquisite work!
What a pretty card! :-)
What a beautiful card Lisa and such fab detail. My friend used to have three horses and we would go and ride them most weekends. Brings back lovely memories. :) x
