Birthday Wolf

My SIL has a birthday coming up and I think I have the perfect card for him.


A few months back I stamped some images from the, now retired, In Wilderness set that my friend has.  When I was trying to think of a card for SIL I thought of this.  He's a graduate of NC State and their mascot is a wolf.  NC State Wolfpack colors are red and white.  I think he'll like this card.

I used LeAnne's sketch from Paper Players this week.


My image was the perfect size and shape for this. Thanks LeAnne!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamps:  In Wilderness (retired), Teeny, Tiny Wishes

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you come back soon.

A fantastic man card, Bonnie! That wolf is great surrounded by the red! So...if SIL is son-in-law, what is sister-in-law?

I think you're right, Bonnie. Your SIL is sure to think this is a winner. Clever idea for the masculine card.

Love your take on the sketch and the use of the mascot is a wonderful idea. This is a perfect masculine card.

Trust Darnell to start asking awkward questions! This wolf is a marvellous stamp and he looks great with the red panels.

"Perfect" really is the word for this!! Love the red with this image, Bonnie! SO pretty!
I have so many favorite images from SU and this ranks right up there with them. Love this set - and especially this image!
Fantastic card!
