Rainbow Spinner video tutorial | by Jeni

Hi, I have a super fun interactive card with the Friends Are Flowers stamp set.  I don’t make as many interactive cards at the moment and I do miss the tricker card making. 

In this video, I asked for suggestions on beard colours. Tracey suggested a rainbow beard.  Rainbow beard it is, but what about the scene? The Spring Day builder stencil and Puffy Cloud stencil were obvious choices for a bright background.

I spent some time thinking about this card… I want to take a simple rainbow gnome card up a level and make a square card*.  Watch the video process here. The Catherine Pooler ink colours I use are listed below.

Which sentiment would you put on this card?

I am definitely going to colour more rainbow beards (and make interactive cards more often)! Do you love rainbows? Share your rainbow card making with us at the Paper Tree Tribe and tag us on Instagram @shopthelittlepaper with the hashtag #papertreetribe

There are more photographs of both cards on Instagram, and you can see the spinners in action in the video tutorial above.

*The last square I made (that I can think of) is a nail polish spinner card. I made for my Mom’s birthday a few years ago – but I can’t find a photograph of that card anywhere!!! I may have to recreate that card to share with you.
