Life is too short to be Normal ~ Stay Weird!

Den 5 oktober i år var 'World Cardmaking Day' og jeg lagde to kort til en utfordring på en facebook cyber crop som TPC Magazine holdt. Artikkelen med Galleri og Top3 finner du her. Utrolig mange flotte kreasjoner! 

Det var tre utfordringer, men jeg fikk bare gjort en av dem ~ Moodboard. Jeg har hatt flere Katzelcraft og Visible Image stempelsett ganske lenge uten å bruke dem, og siden jeg har lovt meg selv å bruke mest mulig av sånne 'avglemte' stempler, ble det to morsomme mixed media kattekort fra meg ~ med et kjempe-kjempe-gammelt Stampotique stol stempel som passet helt purrrfekt til kattepusene! :)

October 5th. was the 'Worlds Cardmaking Day' and I participated in the Cyber Crop event that the scandinavian TPC Magazine held on Facebook. There were so many awesome creations and the gallery and top3 can be found here. 

They had three challenges and I wish I would have been able to do all of them, but I chose one that really was so much fun to do as I was inspired to use some mixed media! And also I got a chance to play with some supercute Katzelcraft & Visible Image stamps I've had for a while now and not used. As I've recently decided to use more of my forgotten and unused stamps and stash, I made two cute cat cards ~ with a really old Stampotique chair stamp that was a PURRFECT fit for my cats! :)

Stampotique Baby Cakes!

Stampotique har mange kjempestilige stempler - litt spesielle, goth inspirerte og merkelige stempler.. Dette er ikke goth, men den furtne minen på 'Baby Cakes' er ikke vanlig å finne på vanlige stempler - og passet så utrolig bra til denne teksten. Angrer litt på at jeg solgte det, mulig jeg må kjøpe det på nytt ;)

Utfordringen hos Charisma Cardz #43 - Ingen bakgrunns papirer - så her er det motivet i fokus.
The Challenge #43 at Charisma Cardz is - No Backing Papers, so here the image is in focus, and I do love this cutie stamp! Stampotique has the coolest goth inspired stamps - and I have two more girls, this one I've sold - wich I kinda regret now...
I may have to buy it again! *lol*
