What's at the end of your rainbow?

Today is the start of a new Die Cuttin' Diva's Challenge. This week we want to see your project using rainbow colors. It could be a rainbow or just a project with all the rainbow colors.
I decided to go old school and use metal dies and punches instead of using my Cameo or Cricut -(Gasp)!
I know....how can this be? Well, quite simply. I used a metal pocket shaped die from My Creative Time and then my old heart punches form Creative Memories. I hand cut the sentiment flag. The sentiment is from the same My Creative Time die and stamp set as the pocket die.

I added a couple buttons and some pen doodles to complete my pocket full of rainbow hearts card.

I look forward to seeing the rainbow of projects this week from all of you.

Cool Hombre Excitement!

I am so excited today because today is my first post as the new DesignTeam Member over at Stamp Annie Thing. I was so excited to be asked to join...thanks Ann!

So for my first post as a Stamp Annie Thing DT member, I decided to use the One Cool Hombre stamp set
This is a 4 X 6 stamp set which is great for Cinco De Mayo, a fiesta party invite or in my case, to use it for the many, many photos of Mexico vacations.
I simply pulled out my copic markers to color this cute little guy using the bright colors in my paper as the color pallet and inspiration. The stamp set also comes with the some fun little borders which I used on the left side of my card, as well as several sentiments that go along with all the images. 
Now those Maracas...what a great little cut file you can find here. They added that little extra to my card. 
I finished off my card with a brad, some twine and some stickles. 

If you would like to purchase this stamp set or any others from Stamp Annie*Thing, click on the logo....
