I first spotted a photo of Zeph the blue merle border collie on the Fancying France blog. June, Zeph's owner, often posts gorgeous picture of him, one of which caught my eye. Therefore I was delighted when June contacted me and asked if I could make a birthday card for her husband with Zeph on it!
"I would like the card to feature Zeph and my husband's two main hobbies, field hockey and tennis" June wrote. It was a simple brief and I couldn't wait to get to work! I made a sketch of Zeph, breaking down the beautiful colours and pattern of his coat and paying extra special attention to his different coloured eyes and black and pink nose.
Zeph was of course the centrepiece of the card but I made sure to include June's other requests too. A tennis racket can be seen to one side of him, whilst a layout of a hockey pitch and hockey stick are on the other.

I love this post but I might be biased! It was very interesting to see the stages that are gone through to make the cars. #PoCoLo

Great likeness of Zeph, Lisa! People is one thing, but animals altogether different! You are so courageous, tackling anything that comes your way! Now you have shown this card, I wonder if you will start getting requests for cards with people's pets:):) Many thanks for sharing Zeph with All Seasons, Jesh
