A Direwolf's Gift

Greetings fellow craft traveller. Here at the Guild Hall we are busy wrapping presents and finishing up cards for the Winter Festival which is rapidly approaching. My direwolf, Lycan has been feeling a little lonely as my lord husband and I go about all our preparations for the coming feast. Unbeknownst to us, he had found another pup to play with, keeping him occupied. As I was riding through the Forest of Dreams I spotted the two of them darting in and out of the brush. I followed them back to the pup’s house and introduced myself to his owner. The gentleman explained that the two have been inseparable for the past fortnight.

I started by colouring the “Cozy Winter Wolf Pup” image by Meljen’s Designs using Prismacolors. I coloured him in the likeness of Lycan.

Lycan - My 'Lil Direwolf

This card was made for our neighbour across the street who hosts play dates between Lycan and his bff, Roland. We thought it appropriate to provide a thank you for watching the dogs a couple times a week as they play together for hours. In truth, the dogs have been bffs for the last year and a half! Anyways...back to the card. I cut out the trees using the Art Philosophy cartridge and stamped the coordinating image from the Close to My Heart stamp set. I embossed the red panel using my Cuttlebug. The sentiment was a combination of word from Lawn Fawn’s “Cozy Christmas” and the My Pink Stamper “Christmas Wishes” set.

The inside sentiment is also from the My Pink Stamper “Christmas Wishes” set. I then added a paw print since the card is “from” Lycan :)

On the envelope I stamped some red and green paw prints to make it all holiday-doggy style...wait...um...that sounded bad. *ahem* moving on...

We purchased some rawhide candy canes to give to Roland, and Lycan keeps sniffing them out. It seems I will have to find a more efficient hiding place until we present the card and gift to our neighbour, lest Lycan chow them all down before then!
