Stampscapes and Spellbinders Wolf Card

Hello blogging friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today started out kind of cloudy and gloomy here but now the sun is shinning and it looks like a beautiful day. I guess I better enjoy the sunshine because they are calling for a big winter storm for Tuesday and Wednesday, but we'll see what happens--we have had so very little snow this year. I can't believe the kids haven't had any snow days--not even a late start! I have a card to share with you today that I made for my husbands boss who just recently got a promotion.


It has been awhile since I used my Stampscape stamps but I love doing the masking technique and layering the images and these images are great for masculine cards.


I used Prismacolor Colored Pencils for all of the coloring on the image. The wolf image is and oldie (from PSX 1996 G-1855) but I love it! I used three of the Stampscape images to make the larger stamped image--For the moon I used Cloud w/Crescent Moon Lg -202G, for the mountains I used Rocky Peaks-188F and for the waterfall I used Cascading Falls Lg-015G. I stamped the images in this order doing the masking technique--wolf, mountains, moon and waterfall.


Here is a close up of the image.


I used LF-168 Grand Large Labels to create the base of the card and all of the layering mats. Then I used S5-066 Shadow Flowers die templates with Engraving Art Silver foil to create the flowers. I lightly sanded the die cuts to reveal the silver foil and adhered them to the card using 3D Foam Squares. Along the bottom I added the word Journey. I used S5-009 Jewel Keys to create the die cut word. I also added some Glossy Accents to the water and sprinkled a little Diamond Clear Glitter and then I added Black Jellie Dots along the bottom corner.


All of the cardstock is from Discount Cardstock and listed below in the supply list.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed the post and the card. Do you have any favorite stamps that you use for making masculine cards?

Hugs & Smiles,
Heidi

  3. Heidi, your card is simply breathtaking! The detail is just spectacular! I agree with Sandi - I'd love to see a video of how you did this. I love the way the wolf becomes part of the mountain. It reminds me of some Native American Cross Stitch designs where the wild animals are part of the cloud or the landscape.
