Tips, Tutorials, and Techniques - Creative Rainbow Effects

There's something energizing about designs with the vibrant colors of the rainbow! Let's look at some fantastic ways for making Creative Rainbow Effects for your cards.

Today's video will give you two creative ideas for incorporating a riot of rainbow color in your designs. Kimberly shares two vibrant projects originally created by Francine Vuillème and gives you step-by-step instructions for recreating these techniques. Watch the video below or click here (MFT May 2016 Release Class - Rainbow Greetings Two Ways) to watch it on YouTube.

Wow! That technique with the stencil is absolutely STUNNING! Didn't you just love Kimberly's thorough instructions? Fantastic. 

This is just one of five videos in our May Release Class Playlist. Check out the other four HERE.

Let's take a look at a few examples of other delightful ways to design with a spectrum of color.

Of course our End of the Rainbow Die-namics is the perfect way to create a rainbow, but I love what Jody did here! She die cut the Absolutely Fabulous Die-namics from the middle of the rainbow for a super COOL effect!

Kimberly's colors are a little softer, yet still vibrant and eye-catching. She used the One Way Chevron stencil in her oh-so-pretty and colorful design.

Karolyn went the route of using patterned paper for her cute little gingham fence. So simple, right? And cutting the Friends Die-namics from the row of pretty papers give her design something unexpected.
