It is the heart of winter here in Northwest Wisconsin. Some of our coldest nights happen in January. This gorgeous wolf, Maka, is howling at the winter moon, perhaps dreaming of the warmer weather to come. Or, maybe like me, Maka enjoys the winter months?
Lavinia Stamps have such beautiful impressions, and Maka is no exception. I just loved the way this stamped on to this heavily inked background. Maka was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
The background was created with various Tim Holtz distress inks and Spectrum Noir Harmony ink pads (all water reactive). The 'Dream' die cut is from Cottage Cutz, cut out of silver foil paper. The layered snow drifts were created free hand.

ReplyDeleteMy first thought was that he looks so lonely and then I felt the chilly air and thought, yup that's why he's lonely. All the other wolves are warm and cozy in their dens :-) Gorgeous story telling card! Love it!
