I coloured the rainbow with my Copics, added "perfect puff" and glamour dust to the clouds and then heat set to make the clouds puff up. I also covered the rainbow with glossy accents. Extra products used: Recollections white cs, Nestabilties, Machine stitching, DMC floss, button from Caffinated Cropper Birds of a Feather kit and Colorbox chalk ink.

I also used my Fiskars Wave border punch and covered up the blue cs with Doodlebug glitter. For the base of my card I used the Jillibean Soup card base from my Caffinated Cropper Bees Knees Kit.

My  last card is another CAS card using the adorable E.A.D. Designs Stickerz that are included in the kit! Everything is from the kit except the white Recollections cs base and yellow SU ribbon!
