Welcome back to the Butterfly Challenge. Thank you all for playing along with the last challenge.  Winners results for #105 are published in the post below. Make sure you check back as it could be you. Can I please ask that  Winners do acknowledge their prize in the comments on the Winners post as well as emailing their details to me.

Challenge is back to it's normal 2 weeks.


Come on in.

Lets Spin the Butterfly Wheel.
Each challenge will still be a letter of the Alphabet but there will  now be a choice of 3 Colours and 3 Themes all beginning with the chosen letter.
You must use your butterfly/ies on your creation, 
then you can either choose a Theme or a Colour from the wheel  to be entered  for the 1st Prize.

you  will  be entered into the 2nd Prize. 
Please state in your post which part of the wheel you are using to play with.
New for this Yr.
If you manage to use all 7 elements of the wheel then you will be entered into a 3rd Prize.

So lets get started.
The wheel for this challenge is


#106 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with the letter E. 


Emerald/Electric Yellow/Eucalyptus/Embossing Powder/ Embellishments/Embossing Folder Butterfly.
 I have used  Wikipedia's  excellent site for obtaining most of the colours chosen for the wheels. I then went through all my Promarkers, Marvey le PlumeII, Graph'it and Spectrum Noir pens to find the nearest colour match for me to use.

Here is my inspiration for you.
My  1st card uses Emerald/Embossing Folder/Butterfly.
                          Also just a splash of Eucalyptus and Electric Yellow.

My  2nd card uses Eucalyptus/Embellishments/Butterfly.
                                     Also a touch of Electric Yellow.

Please go to my blog here  for how they were made.
