Wolf Tower Card

I had intended to post a photo of this card last weekend.  However, we went to our caravan in North Devon and arrived to discover that there was a major problem with the Wifi on site and when we left today it still wasn't fixed, so no Wifi at all for six days.  Not necessarily a bad thing, but I've a lot of blog visiting to catch up on!  Onto my card, which I made for my 13 year old great niece who loves wolves, I've no idea why, but she was thrilled when she opened the card on Sunday.  It was lovely to share in the family birthday celebrations as she lives near the caravan site.

I used a Sweet Dixie 'Wolf' die with pearlised dark grey card, popped the apertures out, backed the eyes with white and coloured the pupil with a black Promarker.  I used a dark grey Promarker for the nose.  I used the die again with pale grey, leaving the wolf shape intact and layered the dark grey wolf die cut over the top.  The embossed panel was embossed with a Sue Wilson 'Pawprint Lattice' e/f.  The panels down the side are Poppystamps 'Cat Paw Border' die cuts.

  14. What a beautiful card, Liz, no wonder she loved it so much! So many great details here with the way it opens up, gorgeous colors and love that you personalized it!
    Having no wifi can be so frustrating, but sometimes it's for the best for a much needed break from the internet that we tend to forget we need!

    Thanks so much for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge!

  15. He looks fierce and scary! I think it's those eyes. I love the paw print border down the sides. That was special that you were able to see her open her card and be there to share her birthday with a card made just for her interest.

  25. Wow, this is a beautiful wolf card Liz! I can see why your great niece flipped over this card! I have a son who loves wolves as well, I'm making him a wolf mug but won't look anything like this amazing card! I think Wolves are such beautiful animals as well. This die is stunning, I love all the detail you gave it. The embossing is perfect, I love the paw prints and the style of the card. What is not to love?!! Hugs, Brenda
