The gorgeous Tina Wenke stamps from Stampavie have now arrived at Quixotic Paperie! Such a lovely collection of cute animal stamps, I can’t wait to see what everyone does with these.
My absolute favourite from the Cute Critters Collection has to be the ever so sweet Mouse Carrying Cake. Isn’t he adorable? I wish I had some cake today!
I’ve used this week’s Mojo Monday sketch, rotated, on an A5 size card.
The image has been coloured with Copics, and the background airbrushed. A list of Copics used can be found at the end of this post. I’ve also highlighted parts of the image with Shimmerz in “Candlelight” (the icing on the cake and the flames on the candles). I would have taken an extra photo to show this better, but the light today is dreadful (grey and miserable outside at the moment).
Papers are from the My Mind’s Eye “Wild Asparagus” collection. I’ve used papers from both the 8×8 and 6×6 packs. The spotty green ribbon on top of the pink crochet ribbon is from the Wild Asparagus Ribbons pack.
I’ve gone a bit glitter crazy with this card, and have gone round the edges of some of the layers with Diamond Stickles, for extra sparkle. Must be all this grey weather, life needs a little sparkle at the moment! I also added some self-adhesive pearls from my stash to the cake for a little dimension.
Thank you all for stopping by! I’m partway through my Google Reader list now, so if I haven’t caught up with your blog yet, I will be dropping by very soon!

Aw, this is so CUTE!!! Love your coloring and all the gorgeous layers of DP. I use 3 kinds of paper to color my copics with, Neenah, Papertrey white and Georgia Pacific cs. I pre cut the papers to quarter size (pile) and just stamp on it when I have a new stamp. They all work wonderful with the copics. 🙂 Hope that helps!
