"Two Amazing Cards"


Back in May 2022 Mizzie and Jonny celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary. As is their custom, the couple both asked me to make a card for their special day.
Mizzie wanted a card showing her and Jonny sitting together playing the piano. She was sure that Jonny was going to ask me for the same thing and even went as far as to say that I should tell her if he did, so that she could change the design!
I followed Mizzie's request carefully and showed the couple making music on an electronic keyboard, which I knew they were learning to play on. A red heart fills the space between them.
Mizzie was delighted. "I love the anniversary card I ordered! You're so talented!" she wrote to me.
Now Jonny DID actually guess that Mizzie had asked me to do something with a keyboard theme, so he requested something different. He sent me a photo of the couple in front of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece and asked me to recreate it for Mizzie's card.
"Thanks for two amazing cards!" Mizzie wrote to me. "I guessed Jonny's card and he guessed mine too!"

  9. These are just amazing. What delightful ideas. The paper cuts are stunning, but I also think it's fun that you used an actual photo in your design as well. Visiting from the Crazy Little Lovebirds linkup.
