Hetty celebrated her 18th birthday in October. Her mum sent me a photo of her and asked if I could use it. She particularly wanted Hetty to appear just as she was in the picture, drinking from a cup. She also requested that I include a saxophone, a pair of AirPods, and a poetry book around Hetty's portrait.
I carefully recreated the photo of Hetty, adding the saxophone, AirPods, and poetry book just as her mum requested. I was especially pleased with how the saxophone turned out.
I hope Hetty loved the final piece.

The saxophone sound is unique. Does Hetty love listening to this instrument or playing it herself?
I love all of the thought and details that went into this. Very pretty!
I love the little AirPods, and the saxophone turned out amazing. I'm sure Hetty was over the moon with her card. :) x
A lovely homemade card for Hetty!
Happy 18th birthday!
Enjoy your day and the week ahead.
Happy Birthday to Hetty (lovely name). Another excellent card and the saxophone is amazing! xx
Hetty looks perfect with all her favorite things—happy 18th! 🎉
I've been a bit off grid as we enjoyed a week's visit from our daughter and her family. Now, of course, I'm playing catch-up! LOL! Hetty's saxophone looks amazing - so many details! I can't quite believe the intricacy of your work - you have such control and it always looks fabulous!
I know Hetty must have loved her birthday card. It's very cute. #MMBC
That Sax is adorable! Years ago I worked with a lady who's name was Hetty, this card helped me think of her also! Take care and have wonderful week ahead.
That saxophone is amazing! You always do such a great job getting all those small details perfect on your cards.
Great artwork... and thank you for sharing at MosaicMonday ☃️
Merry Christmas 🎄
What a great card! I love all the details that went into it!
Happy 18th Birthday Hetty!
You captured her likeness so well, and I love how you incorporated all her favorite things.
It is very curious why Hetty's mom wanted her to be drinking out of a cup for the photo... The details tell the story of Hetty- Very lovely card.
I have no idea why that picture. I am sure there is a good reason. Sometimes my customers tell me, and sometimes they don't.
Such a fun card, Lisa, the details on the saxophone are amazing.
