This is my first ever spinner card! I was inspired by my friend Theresa's blog hop this past weekend featuring spinner cards. They looked so cool so I watched the tutorial. It didn't seem that hard and it really wasn't! I have been wanting to play along with DCWV, so this spinner and their sketch were a perfect match!
I am not tech savvy enough to do a video, so I am showing several pics of the card with the wheel in different areas around the spinner.
The base of my card is the DCWV paper (navy with polka dots), I used white card stock for the top layer and cut the circles with my circle cutter removing .25" between the two. I layered more navy and white paper from the DCWV stack using the sketch. I stamped, embossed and colored my image. I popped the entire "top" of the card on pop dots to give the penny room to move.
Here's their sketch. I couldn't put my embellishments along the rail of the spinner so I placed them up top to stand out more against the white card stock.
Here's a close up of the penny spinning mechanism really just pennies and pop dots! amazing! I do suggest purchasing round pop dots. I only had square so I snipped the corners off to round it a bit and shook it up like the video illustrated to round off the corners. The easiest way would be to just use round ones to start.
Ingredients:
DCWV Hey Sailor! paper pad
stamps: ODBD Smooth Sailing, CTMH Seaside Greetings, SU Hello Sailor
Mix'd Media Indigo ink and Wow Clear embossing powder
AC Brown Sugar ink and Recollections clear bark and champagne embossing powders

What a stunning card! I always thing "male" cards as so much harder to create. Love not only the sketch you have used but also how you have incorporated a spinner into it! Great work and thank you for playing along with us over at Use Your Stuff - Hugs DT Shirl
