My customer had a special request. She wanted an extra large card for her mum's upcoming 70th birthday. Her mum has seven grandchildren and she wanted a card that could fit them all on.
My customer sent me a bunch of photos showing each grandchild. After a lot of discussion about their various ages, heights, hairstyles and hair colours, I was able to work out who was the tallest amongst them all and who was the shortest. I was told that mum herself is quite short, so the two oldest grandchildren needed to be taller than her!
The greeting on the card says "Happy 70th Birthday Savta". Savta or safta is the Hebrew word for grandmother.
My customer told me that her mum loved the card.

Oh she is going to LOVE this card! My mom just turned 70 at the start of the year and would have loved a card like this but she has 11 grandchildren... and I think just about all of them are taller than her at this point. Two of mine are well over 6 feet and my mom is barely 5 feet so it's rather funny to see them together.
Good job getting all the grandkids in an attractive group. It's a wonderful card to keep and cherish. #MMBC
My grandchildren always called me Savta and my husband Saba. Their grandparents on the other side always wanted to be called Buba and Zeida. How perfect that your card was so perfectly personalised.
Aww! What a lovely card and happy 70th birthday to Savta. I love that all the grandchildren are included. Great work!! x

Such a lovely card! All of your card creations are wonderful. Thank you for sharing at The Crazy Little Lovebirds link party #58.
What a special card that any grandmother would love to get. Im sure she will display it and cherish it.
That card is a triumph -- as a great-grandmother I know how proud this Satva is to have this portrait of her "littles"..... It's perfect
