#I’m going to need to find other uses for red velvet and faux wolf fur

[squirrellypoo]

My iwtv discord held a festive card exchange for the third year running and I wanted to up my game a little this year, so I designed a card that I could add scraps of my Wolfkiller cloak to.

The idea came first, but then before I could actually start it, I got really sick with a string of opportunistic infections in November and December. But this proved fortuitous because I got a new iPad and Apple Pencil for Christmas, which meant I could make the printed art look a little less awful (be gentle, I make no claims at being an artist). So, it’s less of a “festive card” and more of a “winter card” (with apologies to the Aussies & Brazilians).

I made two versions of Lestat, facing down more wolves in the Auvergne snow, one with his cloak, and a special version without it.

It’s the latter that I got printed onto cards (with a message inside and on the back), and when they arrived I cut out little Wolfkiller cloaks using my leftover velvet and faux fur and glued these onto the cards.

I was waiting to post this until everyone’s arrived, and it was so funny to hear that the first thing everyone did was lift up the cloak to see if his bare ass was out! 😂🥶

I also took the opportunity to use my custom VL stamper on all the envelopes, too! Because of course I did.
