Happy 90th

A customer wrote to tell me that her mum was going to be turning 90! She wanted a beautiful card to mark this very special birthday but could not decide between a design showing her mum, her sons, quilting, books, the radio or Monty the silky black cat!
Since I have already made a card featuring Monty and another showing her mum's love of quilting, I suggested that this time I make a card showing her mum and her sons. My customer sent me a favourite photo of them all together, top, and I recreated it in paper. She asked me to add a big gold 90 to the card as well.
My customer's husband and youngest son, left, came to collect the card and the son was excited to spot himself on the card. Even he agreed that I had successfully captured his likeness!

I'm always pleasantly surprised to see how much your cut outs actually look like the photo, esp when you don't add in features.
Thank you for linking with #pocolo and hope to see you back soon
