The Majestic Grey Wolf…

My family has always had a tender place in our hearts for Wolves – there is just something about these majestic creations of the wild that we love and admire. When I first saw Whimsy’s newest Dove Art release, Wolf Head, I had to have it.

Then I saw and was inspired by Bev Rochester’s handsomely finished article on the Whimsy Blog page of September 7^th.  My stamp arrived yesterday and, of course, I could hardly wait to get going. The gentleman who will receive this over the weekend will be celebrating his 86^th birthday.

If you want more information regarding the Grey or Timber Wolf, there is an interesting article on https://animalcorner.co.uk/animals/grey-wolf/ .

Materials:

Whimsy Stamps, DA1124

Concord & 9, Woven Background

Cardstock by Neenah and Elizabeth Craft

I had a great time making this card. Hope it might give you an idea about making masculine celebration cards.

Till next time, May God Bless You…

…And Away We Go….

Hello there…and welcome to my blog. Hope this card will give you a few ideas for creating slightly different celebration cards. This one is for two very fantastic people – Cory and Jennifer. This is for their wedding this weekend. 

They love their motorcycles.    

Trying to come up with a card that was totally “them” was exciting.   As I started thinking and mentally designing their card, I came up with several different ideas but not exactly what I wanted. Eventually my thoughts lead me to search for chipboard wedding designs. That was when I found my inspiration with the wedding themes on the 14 Craft Bar website. That was all I needed. 

I'm so excited that this project has turned out the way I imagined.
