A commission for a doctor

I was asked by a colleague, to make a card for her doctor, who is retiring.

He has helped the family a lot over the years, 

and she wanted to give him a personal, heart-felt thankyou.

So she asked me to make him a  card.

I really enjoyed designing and making this card.

It just seemed to fall into place and fit together so quickly. 

I hand drew and cut the pieces ...the collar, the tie and the pocket. 

I coloured the tie with my promarkers and 

made the 'doctors' badge on my pc.

The clipboard is stamped with a new stamp I bought in 

The Range a couple of weeks ago, and I handwrote the sentiment straight on.

The final touch was a stethoscope.

I didn't even draw the shape...I just cut silver, black and white card pieces

and stuck them altogether. 

Altogether, once I had the idea in place, this card ended up being a quickie!

PS... my colleague was thrilled with it!!!  :)
