I’m thrilled to say that our delivery of C.C. Designs stamps arrived a little earlier than expected, and so the new August release stamps are now in stock, ready to find new homes.  I also have a selection of other C.C Designs stamps including their fantastic Sugarplums Halloween and Christmas sets.

We have also received some new charms, including more gorgeous Christmas designs, for all you early birds who have started on Christmas projects already.  I’m nowhere near starting mine, as usual!  I wish I could be that organised!  And finally, Memento Tuxedo Black ink pads are now available at Quixotic Paperie!  This is the only ink I use when stamping and colouring with Copic Markers, it performs brilliantly.

You can easily check out all the new stash under New Products on the Quixotic Paperie website.

Today’s card features one of the adorable new Swiss Pixies designs from C.C. Designs – Heidi Among The Flowers.  I’ve followed the fab sketch from this week’s Friday Sketchers Challenge.

Heidi has been coloured with Copic Markers, and the flowers have been highlighted with Shimmerz in “Candle Light” (for tips on using Shimmerz in this way, please check out Kim’s fantastic tutorial).  The list of Copic Markers used can be found at the end of this post, as usual!

The papers used are all My Mind’s Eye: Bloom & Grow, as are the patterned ribbon and the flower shaped buttons.  Self adhesive gems are from my stash.  Raffia Lace Ribbon in Natural adds some interest, as does one of the lovely new charms, tied on with a jumpring and some twine.
