I attempted to create a card using only designer paper and die cuts, but I had an issue with excess white space at the top. I incorporated some SU purple to blend the edges.
To fit the nature theme, I chose to feature North America's wolf. Interestingly, I still have several unused wolf dies besides these four.
I find this week's theme to be fantastic and I'm eagerly anticipating viewing everyone's cards.
Guess what? Thanks for looking!
* since we are kind of talking about nature; I had a bobcat in my backyard the other day! He burst out of nowhere in the woods to try and get a bird on our lawn. He missed, sat there in the open for about 3 seconds then disappeared back into the woods invisible again. Vey cool!! This is only the 2-3x I've seen a bobcat in the wild on its own.

Your die cuts are really cool (and you have more?)..I think it was a good call to sponge the purple one top..it pulls together the colors of the wolves.
Can't believe you saw a bobcat..WOW! I see coyotes, deer, foxes here in the city but no bobcats. That would be something.

Wow I’ve never seen a bobcat in the wild! We did have a mommy and baby deer in our yard last night that was neat to see. Not as scary as a bobcat! This card is lovely!

Love this card and the way you filled your white space. And, wow, a bobcat in your yard. Always fascinating to see wildlife up close (but not too close).

Wonderful colors and dies!!! This is super cool, Brian.
How cool to see a bobcat! Hope you live in the country....that could be dangerous for people and the bobcat. We have them around here but I am very rural. Still very cool he felt he could visit you.

Wonderful card and so beautifully photographed - and very cool about the bobcat. I watched one walk down our alley in 2020 and was glad no pets were outside. Usually we just see coyotes and raccoons - and millions of squirrels.
