Thanks Scrappegarasjen

Hello Nomad friends.  There are many reason to like living in Norway.  A big one this weekend was an online scrapmeet organised by Scrappegarasjen.  I haven't seen anyone outside of Norway talking about such things but the Norwegian shops and groups have been keeping us entertained many times in the last 15 months when it hasn't been possible to have real in person meetings.  My sanity and my Mojo have been saved many times by these fun and awesome events.  This meeting was concentrating of Norwegian stamp and die producers which was really cool.  Here's two of the cards I made this weekend.  

This card used Kort og Godt stamps.  Lots of em.  I had the big dog stamp and I bought a second one that had different sentiments and came with a smaller slightly different dog.  But today I decided they would look cool together!  I stamped the two smaller dogs first, masked them and then stamped the one in the middle.  I wanted a peeking over the wall look so.......

 

I drew a faint pencil line so I could get the dogs stamped at the same level and stamped them inside my Kort og Godt patterned card base.  Then I cut the front of the card so the 'wall' folds over them.  I masked all the dogs to stamp the snowflake background.  I coloured the dogs with distress markers.  All stamping with different colour archival inks.  The sentiment says with wishes for a magical christmas.  

On the front panel I stamped Ho Ho Ho and do not open til xmas eve, which seemed funny and appropriate.

My second card uses Papirdesign patterned papers, sticker sentiment and dies.

Two different people we know were off this weekend fishing for salmon, so a fishy card seemed appropriate.  I used Papirdesigns Fiskestenger designer paper and football pattern and fish dies.  I always think that football pattern die looks like a net so.......  The sticker was white, but I coloured it with Promarker to match my cool blue colour scheme, and I added a tiny patterned card scrap along the bottom as a fun design element.
