A new customer contacted me to see if could make a special birthday card for her dad. "We call him Pops and he is turning 80" she told me. "He likes cars, good quality whisky and good books, and is kind, generous and compassionate."
I decided to show "Pops" with a book in one hand and a good whisky in the other. Behind him is a bright red sports car, a bottle of whisky and a small pile of books. My customer was keen for me to include his character traits too, so I added them as words surrounding him. Finally, a big number 80 marks his age.
My customer was delighted with the card and was excited to send it to her dad in South Africa.
I love how you incorporated all of Pops’ favorite things and his traits—it makes for a special keepsake. He’s going to love it!
ReplyDeleteThe grandfathers are the most important and loved people in lots of families. This grandpa will love the card.

ReplyDeleteIncorporating a trait is really difficult. I think you chose a good way to do it. What a lovely card and beautiful sentiments.
ReplyDeleteAnother special card for a special dad! "Pops" and my hubby (who is younger by a decade or more) would get along famously - all three items are my husband's favorites, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice card for a special new decade borthday!
