Wolf Country

Good morning everyone!

Today I wanted to share a birthday card that I made for my Dad! 
It features a gorgeous wolf image from Eureka Stamps and a Vintage Cowboy map from Create with TLC. I colored the image lightly with Copcis and used Walnut Stain ink for the distressing. The wooden chevron arrows were painted with gold metallic paint, crackle paint and then I added distress ink to them also. I found a charm in my stash that had a flower in the center so I removed it and altered the charm...  
I punched the word wolf out of an old dictionary, distressed it and then added Dimensional Magic for a 3D effect... it looks so cool IRL!
Well, there you have it... a very masculine card. It was so fun to make and my dad really loved it!!

I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by!
