Follow Your Rainbow

Here's another card I prepared with my Caffinated Cropper Pocket Full of Sunshine kit! Everything on my card is from the kit except the SU Confetti Cream cs, DMC floss and the crinkled ribbon. I used my Nestabilities and coloured the Whimsy Haven rainbow with my Copics and added the E.A.D. Designs Stickerz sentiment on the bottom  (which are included in the kit!). I also machined stitched and used some Distress inks. I still have a few more cards on the go with my kit! If you haven't picked your kit up, swing by the Caffinated Cropper and get yours before they are all gone!!!

I've also entered my card into Jenny's challenge at Wee Memories for her challenge this week - free for all!

Here's my first card that I prepared with my "Birds Of A Feather" kit from the Caffinated Cropper.

Everything on my card is from the kit except the black grossgrain ribbon, machine stitching, Copic markers and stick pin from the Caffinated Cropper Cherry On Top kit. I coloured the Whimsy Haven digis (which are included in the kit) with my copics.

I also played along with this week's Etsy Inspired Challenge. Here's a picture of my inspiration piece from Etsy Shop Made By Michelle Brusegaard.
