Nifty Fifty

A customer asked me to make a card for her friend's birthday at the end of June. It was going to be her 50th birthday and she wanted a special card to mark the occasion. Books, nail polish, a water bottle and running shoes were requested for the card. My regular customer already knew how I work!
I decided to show the birthday girl with a bottle of water in one hand and some little bottles of nail polish in the other. I gave her a floral dress, like the one she was wearing in the photos my customer sent me, and a blue Alice band in her hair too. Behind her are some running shoes, and next to her a pile of books. A big pink number 50 shows her age.
My customer was delighted with the card. "You are brilliant!" she messaged me. "I love it. Thank you so much."

I can't get over those tennis shoes! You are very talented. I would love to make a card instead of buying on that will be thrown away. Thanks for sharing!
