I carefully copied the couple's clothing, from the details on the husband's blue T-shirt, to the orange underside of his baseball cap. I collaged my customer's daughter's dress and hair covering so that her paper portrait would be as close to the original photo as possible.
Mum was very happy. "The card is awesome... of course!" she wrote to me.
Once again I carefully duplicated their outfits, from her husband's slightly askew bowtie to the lace on my customer's dress.
"My husband loved our 25th anniversary card! He immediately knew which photo it was taken from!" she wrote me.

Aww! What lovely cards. You have got the likeness spot on, especially on the first one x
The likeness you get is so clever, they are deceptively in that they look simple but you put so much into getting them so lifelike. Lovely.
Such great recreations!
beautiful cards to cherish
Brilliant cards. I was wondering how you managed to do the blouse in the first photo. Such a lovely idea for an anniversary. xx
...lovely keepsakes.
What a wonderful keepsake for after her birthday. - Margy
What beautiful cards! I love all the details you include.
This is adorable x #mmbc
Oh these are both beautiful. I really love your attention to detail with the little things like making sure you match the clothing and the lopsided bow-tie. #MMBC
