Keep My Secret Well..

Papirplanetens utfordring #15. ~ for mars mnd. har 'Vintage og/eller Shabby Chic' som tema ♥ Vi håper du blir inspirert til å delta! 
 Det nydelige motivstemplet jeg har brukt på mitt vintage kort er fra Sweet Pea Stamps og Anna Marine, som du kan finne her hos Papirplaneten sammen med mange andre flotte SPS stempler. De lager ikke lengre stempler, så disse er sjeldne å få tak i nå! :)

'Congratulations on the day / Happy Birthday'

My vintage card today is DT inspiration for PapirPlaneten, an norwegian challengeblog and craft shoppe. The February theme is all about Vintage and/or Shabby Chic! The lovely motif stamp is from Sweet Pea Stamps and the artist Anna Marine ♥

While I painted this girl, she reminded me of Clary from the Mortal Instruments so I made her hair red ♥ It's a book series which I'm currently reading by Cassandra Clare. (If you're a fan of the series, think City of Glass, Idris and Alicante to get the same old-world feel I was thinking of). I almost attempted to draw some runes on her also (shadowhunter tattoos), but refrained in case I messed up and ruined an already colored image ;) I absolutely love this YA fantasy series, and have already bought the Infernal devices set to read next! Magnus Bane is my favourite character so I'm hoping for more origin stories on him ♥ If you've got Netflix you might have seen the 'new' tv-series or even the movie they made with a whole other cast several years ago, which is great, but they both differs alot from the Shadowhunter novels ~ which are SO much better :)
