Paper Players: A Card for Ryan

Happy Sunday, y'all, and that means it's time for a new Paper Players challenge!  This week the jubilant Jan has a fun theme challenge for us to kick off August:


Jan wants to see cards for babies or kids, and as it happens I live with a not-quite-so-little-anymore kiddo who will be starting fourth grade this week, so this is a perfect time to make a card to slip into his backpack on that first day.  Here's what I made:


Ryan has been fixated on ducks for yeeeeeaarrrrs but after we went to Yellowstone and then to a nearby wolf sanctuary this summer, he is now also fixated on wolves.  He's read several books about the wolves of Yellowstone and I am all for anything that gets him to enjoy reading.  Anyway, this was also a fabulous opportunity for me to finally ink up my Wild Wolves stamp set from Lawn Fawn that I got last year.  I kinda took inspiration from a shirt that Ryan and I both have:


We took this selfie at Yellowstone this past May : )

This card is ADORABLE!! I love that wolf. I also love that it matches those adorable shirts in your photos!!

The shirts are the perfect inspiration. Wolves are pretty cool - if you're not looking one straight in the eyes, I guess - so I understand the fixation. The night sky is super - not sure if it's DSP or you've used some magic to make it - but either way, it's terrific. And I'm all up for a good pun so this one 'for the little ones' ticks all the boxes for me. :-)
