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

Ranger’s Distress Oxide, Black Soot and Hickory Smoke

Cardstock by Neenah and Elizabeth Craft

PrismaColor Pencils – Black, Yellow and Pumpkin.

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…

Sunflower …

How radiant.  A lovely sight

Glowing in the bold sunlight.

Love, peacefulness and mirth—

Giving joy upon the earth.

Sunflower.  Unique you are.

Your beauty radiates afar—

Engaging the human race, 

As always, with a happy face.

Lovely is the song you sing,

Its heartfelt melody to ring. 

A song of beauty and of grace

Lends expression to the face. 

How charming is the sunflow'r

Adding zing to flow’r power.

A dear friend of ours has been under the weather lately. She is not one to be “down” and usually is the one who brightens everyone’s day. Thought she might like a little something different to help cheer her.

The Card – Clean and Simple:

I recently ordered the Creative Expressions’ new Papercuts Craft Dies’ 5 new edge die collection. Sunflower Edge caught my eye. I had been thinking about making a sample and picked up a piece of Stardream’s Emerald 81T. That paper changes its appearance from dark emerald to black according to the surrounding lighting.  I loved the beauty of that cut and just set it down on a piece of soft yellow/orange mottled paper. (Wish I could remember where I picked up that piece but the old brain is not cooperating today.) I liked the results. 

Anyway, as I looked the combination, I thought of our friend. Now I hope it makes her smile. 

Till another time –

May God Bless You…Always
