Do you like to use Rainbows in your card designs? Today I share how I created my own Rainbow Backgrounds and how I also made them into 5 different cards!
Welcome back to another Gimme 5 video featuring Penny Black, if you haven’t been here before this is a video series where I create 5 Same but Different cards and you can check out my previous videos right HERE!


Like I said, today is all about ‘handmade’ rainbows! I started with a Butterfly Copic Rainbow using the Kisses for my Sweet Stamp Set.

The sentiment is from a fun set called Good Wishes.

I decided to make a Rainbow blended stripe panel using the Distress Oxide inks and stamped the puppy from So Much Love.

I coloured him with Prismacolor Pencils and added a great mix and match sentiment from Only You.

My most simple design is next with a Copic hand drawn Rainbow and A Big Hug bear!

I added a Let’s Chat speech bubble sentiment and some sequins.

Next I wanted some pastle coloured rainbows and made a water fountain elephant card using the Love & Cuddles Stamp Set.

The sentiment is from the Love Sentiments Set. And this card was inspired by my friend Kara and her fabulous card and video HERE, check it out!

My final design has a simple watercolour striped Distress Ink background using pastel colours again. I stamped the Blushing flower 3 times

and added a sentiment from the Million Thanks Stamp Set.

You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Thank you Margarita!
I love all the rainbows but that little bear is too darn adorable.
Isn’t he the cutest! thank you Lisa!
Great cards. I like the hand drawn rainbows, especially the sweet butterfly card. The elephant water rainbow is such a unique way to incorporate a soft rainbow.
Thank you Christine!
these are so adorable!
Thank you so very much!
Stunning cards! I love your creativity and the unique way you’ve included rainbows!
Thanks so much Jenny!
These cards are so fun! Love the rainbows! 🌈
Thanks so much Tammy!
Your videos never disappoint! This is another winner- I love each card and watching you create. Thanks for the inspiration and all you share!!
You are so sweet, thank you Jill!
These are beautiful. Love the first hand drawn copic rainbow the most! So bright and vibrant and I do love the PB images you have used.
Thanks so much Vicki!
These truly are lovely!! You are such a talented lady!
Thanks so much Debby!
Always love your Penny Black creations. These are no exception and you’re always so inspiringâ¤ï¸
I had a blast making these, I’m so glad you like them, thanks Delia!
Super simple and easy designs!! Thank you for sharing the ideas 🙂
Thank you so very much Karthikha!
What a fantastic collection, Therese … each one looks so different from the others! I especially love what you did with the butterflies … it really does seem as though the rainbow is coming from that gorgeous kaleidoscope of colours! Funnily enough, I made a card very similar to your last one not long ago (it’s still unpublished!) … great minds maybe? That’s what I like to think anyway … she says, aspiringly!! Hugs, Anita 🙂
I can’t wait to see your butterfly rainbow, I know it will be glorious Anita!
LOVE the butterfly rainbow card! Great colors and the simple black outline image is perfect. The bear card is so sweet. I have this stamp, so….can you guess what my next project will look like?
Thank you for sharing your ideas. Your mind is so creative!
I was mesmerized watching you create each one, Therese, and so surprised to hear you mention my card as an inspiration! Thank you for that, I actually have some new YouTube followers since your video. I love each of your rainbows from the light to the bright, and each of the sweet Penny Black images that you paired with them!
Yay Kara! So happy to hear that you have some new subscribers, you are always an inspiration and your videos are fabulous!
Great cards! I especially liked that little bear
Awesome, you rocked each of these designs. Thank you for sharing , stay happy x
Love these. Especially the couple card with the butterflies. It’s so exciting when I see your Gimme Me 5 emails!
What a way to brighten my day, Therese.
