TCCC#8: Game of Thrones

Hello Third Coasters!

First I just want to send out best wishes to all our East Coast readers!  Be safe, you're in our prayers!
 **Due to Hurricane Sandy I extended this challenge deadline to Nov 7 to Nov 21.  Sadly we had no entries for this challenge as of Nov 7 so cancelled it anyway.  However, if you were planning on entering the challenge then please leave a comment on the TCCC#9 White Shabby Chick post and I will re-open this challenge with the Nov 21 end date**

Can you believe that Halloween is just round the corner, where did October go to?
Thank you to everyone who shared their wicked Dark and Twisty creations with us, they truly were a treat ;0)

It's TGI Third Coast Friday time again and I've got an epic new challenge for you all!

One randomly drawn winner will receive a fab 

$25 gift certificate to 
Third Coast Rubber Stamps

TCCC#8 "GAME of THRONES" 

For this challenge I'm looking for creations of any kind that are inspired or loosely based on the collection of books by George RR Martin called A Song of Ice and Fire which the HBO TV series, Game of Thrones, is based on.  If you're unfamiliar with the story then all you need to know is I'm looking for medieval and fantasy inspired imagery of dragons, sorcery, knights, kings and queens!  So pull out your stamps of medieval imagery of all kinds and get creating!  I'm so excited to see what you all do with this one :0)

TCCC#8 runs for nearly 2 weeks and ends on Nov 7 at 7am!
**Due to Hurricane Sandy this challenge will close Nov 21!**

The Winner and Coterie Top 3 will be announced when the next challenge starts.

Now for some fabulous Game of Thrones inspired art by the Third Coast Coterie DT
