I showed Ro'i carefully pouring a cocktail. He is no longer dressed in his olive green Israel Defence Forces uniform, as I have shown him on previous cards, but is now in civvies. Behind him is a stage with red curtains. Apparently the red theatre curtain is typically used because red does not absorb light as much as other colours, such as blue or green. This means that when the lights go down, the red colour is the first to disappear from our sight, enabling the audience to concentrate on the performance.
Mum told me that Ro'i "loved loved loved his card!"
Adam currently lives in Tel Aviv, whilst his parents are in the UK. He was turning 23, so his mum asked me to make him a card too. His interests include travelling, Tel Aviv, pubs and clubbing, Greek and Roman history, Arsenal and money, she said.
I have shown Adam with a bottle of beer in one hand and a fan of cash in the other! Behind him is an aeroplane, representing his passion for travel, the Arsenal F.C. crest and a picture of the Tel Aviv skyline. In front of him I added a small illustration of the remains of the ancient Roman Forum in Rome and the words "Ancient Greece". To his left are piles of coins.
"He loved it! Thank you so much!" Adam's mum wrote to me.

Great cards, Lisa. My sons are all big fans of Arsenal too :) Have a lovely day
A bartending course sounds like fun! What a great card, very clever to combine the bar and theatre. It sounds like Adam is living his best life. hehehe x
Great cards again! You are very meticulous in your design process.
Two really great cards. I didn't know that about red theatre curtains! Who doesn't like money :)
How fun are these!
I've said before that you make the best cards. This is really evident in your cards for young men. They are so hard to buy for including the cards. Great job!
I do love all the little details on your cards and the way they are so beautifully personalised. Interesting fact about the theatre curtains - I've been involved with amateur dramatics for years but never knew that the curtains were red for that reason! #MMBC
Fun details on these young mens' cards! Beautifully done as always Lisa!
I am glad to hear students can study theatre in Israel. Which Uni or academy offers the courses?
Great cards. So personal.
The guy and the loot certainly is cute!
Great cards. Interesting fact about the colour of theatre curtains! xx
Beautiful birthday cards for Roi. Interesting course Roi is attending.
This is a fabulous card. I had no idea that there was a specific reason that theatre curtains are red - that's so interesting to know!
