We Can’t Keep Up!

Remember the birthday card I made for the Spurs supporter? I made one for the same customer's dad too. He loves fishing, tennis and whisky, his daughter told me. She also mentioned that he is a huge Zionist and asked me to include an Israeli flag somewhere on the card.
I showed my customer's dad wearing a bright red T-shirt (she mentioned that he likes to wear bright colours like yellow or red). He has a fishing rod, with a fish dangling from it, in one hand and a tennis racket in the other. A yellow tennis ball is flying off the racket.
Behind dad is the river he is fishing in. There are some reeds on the banks of the river and the Israeli flag stands in them! Finally, next to my customer's dad is a tumbler of his favourite tipple, whisky, along with a bottle of whisky too.
"We love you Dad, we can’t keep up!" was the greeting his daughter asked me to put on the front of the card. It does indeed sound like her dad is a busy man!

You have really great people to create cards about - interested in sports, music, food, clothes, travel, family, leisure time activities etc etc. Imagine if a birthday card recipient did nothing but watch TV :(

I imagine he was so thrilled to get this card! Such a gift you have to bless others in such personal ways.

Another beautiful card. I'm not surprised that they have difficulty keeping up with him; so many interests. xx
