Elinor and Galia

Elinor's mum asked me to make a special card for her daughter's upcoming 18th birthday. She plays the violin and is a competitive swimmer, so a violin and swimming cap and goggles were requested. Elinor also likes to bake, so mum asked me to include a chocolate cake with decorations. Finally, I was told that she drives a grey seven-seater Mazda 5. I had to look that one up!
Mum was delighted with the card. "You did an outstanding job!" she wrote to me. "Elinor loved the card!"
Galia started her medical studies several months ago. Back then, her mum asked me to create a card somehow featuring the Tel Aviv University Faculty of Medicine. I went one step further and showed Galia wearing a blue medics overall and hung a stethoscope around her neck. Behind her is the Tel Aviv University Faculty of Medicine logo, along with a small pile of medical books, a bottle of pills and a syringe.
"Galia's card is just brilliant" mum wrote to me, then followed that up by telling me that Galia too loved the card.

Two more great cards with lots of individual details - it's always fun seeing your creations. I don't know how you cut out such small decorations, but they are exquisite. Happy Monday! #MMBC

It is wonderful when the mother helps you with her daughter's interests and skills. Who would know to combine a violin and swimming gear with a car and baking?

If you ever make a card for me, please combine a black labrador dog, a gaggle of grandchildren and Australian beaches :)

Both cards are so sweet. I love that violin you included. My youngest plays it as well. I love the details you added for both cards. Thank you for sharing at the Crazy Little Lovebirds link party #36. 😊
