#73 Butterflies + G is for Glossy Accents and/or the colour Slate Blue

Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge. Winners results for #72 are in the post below. Please make sure you check back as it could be you. Unclaimed prizes go back into the pot and there have been a few! Thankyou all so much for continuing to play along.
I'm very pleased to announce the set of themes and colours for the coming year. I have thrown the letters up in the air this time round and the mix will be that the themes and colours will not be the same letter for each challenge. I have also sorted out some new prizes too.

I'm delighted to introduce you to my next Guest Designer.

Glenda

(winner of #67)

Greetings from hot and humid Durban, South Africa. I’m Glenda and I’m delighted to be the guest designer for this challenge.

I started making cards about twenty years ago after a vacation in the UK. I visited a well-known department store in London and was blown away by their huge selection of cards. When I returned home I started experimenting for myself and the bug had bitten! Over the years I have tried all different techniques but when I was introduced to this prick ‘n stitch technique about 10 years ago, I was smitten. I have always done embroidery, my Granny taught me initially, so to combine that with card making was bliss for me. I have added a Cuttlebug, punches and the odd stamp, to my arsenal and now I have fun using these to enhance my stitching. Nearly three years ago now, I started a blog so that I could enter competitions and this opened up a whole new world for me. The enjoyment that I get from this craft is very fulfilling (and maybe even a little obsessive!)

I hope that my card inspires you and I can’t wait to see what you create. 

Glenda has chosen 

the letter G for Glossy Accents which has been teamed with S for the colour Slate blue.

You can use  glossy accents (or equivalent) anywhere on your card or butterfly.

You may choose to use just the letter/theme + butterfly or use the colour +butterfly.

If you make your project using both the theme  letter and the colour +butterfly you will be eligible for going into a second draw to win an additional prize.

Here is Glenda's  card for you.

Glenda makes such beautiful cards using needle and embroidery thread to stitch her butterflies. Please go over to  her blog Here to see all her lovely makes.

Thankyou Glenda for being my guest Designer for #73.
