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

  4. 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?

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