Commission Cards

As we were driving to our daughter's in Bath yesterday, I received a phone call requesting a couple of cards. The lady was most specific about what she wanted on the cards and so it was a good job that I had some paper and a pencil to hand to jot everything down.
The first one was for an anniversary and she wanted
a) the couple's names
b) the date
c) the fact it was 20years
d) a mention of it being the 'China' anniversary and
e) she wanted a bride and groom silhouette.
She also wanted a money gift wallet to match.

The second card was for a lady who was retiring from work in a bakery and once more the information was quite precise.
She wanted
a) the lady's name
b) Happy Retirement
c) the date she retired
d) the fact that she had done 25 years service and the date when that occurred
She also wanted a money gift wallet for this person too.
I spent the morning doing these two projects, I only hope they will be satisfactory.
I'm entering them for a couple of challenges.

  6. You've certainly met all the criteria here Chrissie, they're lovely! I agree with Linby - I wouldn't have known what to do! I get very nervous doing personal commissions and usually end up making a few cards so they can choose, then I'm stuck with the rejects, lol! x
