#25 Butterflies + H is for Hexagons.

Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge.

Winners results for #24 are in the post below

Each challenge will  be a different letter of the Alphabet.

It will always be Butterflies but with the addition

of an item/theme beginning with a chosen letter.

The twist is that my Guest Designers

will choose which letter goes next and I will supply the theme.
They will also be commenting on your entries. 

You may interpret in any way you like.
Just make sure that you have Butterfly/ies 
and the Theme showing somewhere on your project.

Unfortunately I do not have a Guest Designer

for you this challenge so I used Random Org

and ran the numbers 1 -26 to  correspond 

to the letters of the Alphabet.

Letter selected is H.

#25  Butterfly/ies + H is for Hexagons.

Here are my inspiration pieces for you.

Hexagon Fold out Flower Card.

Shaped Aperture card.

CAS Card.

Please stop by my blog for full details on how these were made.

The Winners may choose one item from the following prizes.

Hessian goody bag

Jane Willis

(winner of #21)

Jane has chosen the following letter for you.

#24 Butterfly/ies + R is for Ribbon.

Many thanks to Mrs A for inviting me to be Guest Designer this time. I chose the letter R which, Mrs A tells me, stands for Ribbons. I’m looking forward to visiting your blogs and seeing your take on it.

I live in Hampshire with my husband, and we have two grown up daughters and 3½ grandchildren, the older two of whom love crafting with me. Before we settled here, we spent several years living overseas in Hong Kong, Brunei and Germany.

If I say I’ve been crafting forever, it’s almost true – this year I will be 60 and I started crafting with my gran when I was only about 3 years old. By the time I was 7, our house was full of crocheted lace doileys.  Over the years I've dabbled in hand and machine knitting, crochet, embroidery and cross stitch, encaustic painting and glass painting, but I always come back to my real passion, papercrafting. I started my blog, Onions and Paper, three years ago in order to share my love of craft and cooking, and my passion has grown even stronger since, because of finding so many other blogs to read and take inspiration from. There’s always something new to learn (and buy!) when you’re a crafter!

Here is Jane's card.

A beautiful white on white  card 

with gorgeous embossing and intricate die cuts.

You will find full details on Jane's blog Here.

Thank you Jane  for being my Guest Designer

for #24.

Please take your Guest designer badge

from the side bar.

Here is my inspiration for you.

A cutaway Triangle shape Card.

Full details of how it was made can be found

Here.
