Tamar and Eilon

Tamar recently celebrated her Bat Mitzvah and her mum asked me to make a special card for her, just as I did for her big sisters Yaara and Maayan in 2018 and 2020 respectively. 
Tamar loves playing board and card games, listening to music on her headphones, strawberries and pizza, mum told me. She is also in a drama club. Apparently she always does the "V" for "victory" hand gesture in photos too! Finally, Snowy the dog, who has already appeared in a couple of the family's cards, had to be included as well.
I showed Tamar wearing her white headphones. Behind her is a stage with red curtains. I cut out some tiny strawberries and a slice of pizza and added some games too. Snowy is sitting next to Tamar. Instead of a greeting on the front of the card, her mum asked me to add a number 12 to mark Tamar's age.
Mum said the card was "absolutely gorgeous - thank you!"
Eilon was turning 9. His mum told me that he loves playing PlayStation, so she thought I could show him with his black and white controller. In the background I added two of his favourite books from the series 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' in Hebrew, or Yomano Shel Hanun. Eilon also loves milk chocolate M&M's, so I popped a packet in the background as well. A big number 9 marks his age.
Mum sent me this gorgeous photo of Eilon with his birthday card. "Another great success!" she wrote "And by chance he's wearing the same shirt!".

Those cards are perfect! I love that he just happened to be wearing the same shirt as the card when he opened it; that's such a fun coincidence.

Showing board games and card games etc flat on a table and covered by the child's hands is not easy. But having them on the curtain above the child's head is brilliant.

Beautiful cards. As usual, your attention to detail is second to none. I love that he's wearing the same shirt! xx

2 very lovely cards, I hope the children appreciate them. If I was Mum, I'd be keeping them very safe after the birthday.
