Shiri & Elisha

Elisha was Gadi's closest friend when they were young. I have fond memories of the two of them getting up to mischief together! On the 4th of September Elisha married Shiri in the beautiful grounds of Deer-Land in Gush Etzion. I wanted to make the young couple a special card to mark the occasion.

The card I created for them features their names in Hebrew inside an elegant oval-shaped design. It is lined with a golden-yellow paper inlay. Since their wedding invitation was designed with rich golden tones - a colour often seen in Jewish art - I chose this colour intentionally. Beneath their names, a ribbon banner highlights their wedding date. I decorated the design with flowers and leaves, finishing it off with a small heart for a romantic touch. The card opens the traditional Hebrew way, from right to left.

I hope they liked it!
