A Handmade Tribute to 50 Years Together

A customer asked if I was able to create a special card for her parents 50th wedding anniversary in July. She sent me a picture of them on their wedding day, below, and asked whether I could create a replica of the photo. "I love this photo of them" she told me.
I carefully recreated the picture of her mum in her gorgeous long blue dress and white hat, and her dad in a dark blue suit adorned with a peach boutonnière. To complete the scene, I even included the brick wall of the synagogue where they were married. In honor of the couple's 50 years of marriage, I highlighted their Golden Anniversary with a gold "50" and matching hearts.
My customer was thrilled with the card. "Hi Lisa, thanks again for my parents' card, am so in love with it," she wrote to me. She later followed up, saying, "They [her parents] LOVED it! They put it up right on the front at their party so everyone could see it. So many people came up to me complimenting it too."

What a lovely keepsake! Your skills are as deep as your caring, and both show up in every card.
