WOLF TRIO

Hi blogging friends.  Have been super busy with completely redoing our living room over

the past few weeks.  So many decisions.  New carpet was installed on Thursday and

furniture to arrive on Monday.  Can't wait to put up all the new decorations and

things to put on my new tables.  But, will be glad when it is all done and we

can just sit and enjoy it.  We are getting too old for all this!!!!!!

This is a card I made for Father's day for my husband.  We became very

interested in Wolves about 20 years ago and used our vacation time to

travel to different states where they had captive wolf packs.  They are

awesome animals.

Here is my card

This is an old stamp from a company that is no longer in business (Arizona Stamps 2)

I colored with Copics and sponged the background with distress inks. Left the card 

simple so the magnificent wolves were the stars!

Thanks for popping in today.  Have a nice Sunday.

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!
