#81 Butterflies +K is for Key and/or the colour Vermillion.

Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge. Winners results for #80 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.
Well we are half way through this years themes already! 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 welcome back my next Guest Designer.

Tina Z.

(Winner of #76)

Hi. I am Tina and I live in Slovenia, a country well known for its stunning nature. I have been married to my high school sweetheart and we have a 6 year old daughter and two younger sons (5 and 3 years old). I started cardmaking in 2010 when my husband bought me my green Cuttlebug J. I didn't know a hobby could be so addictive … Then in April 2015 I created my blog to share my passion for cardmaking.

Both decisions, to start cardmaking and to start blogging, are among the best in my life, it is so inspiring. I don’t have any specific style, I just love playing with papers and trying different styles and techniques, e.g. CAS, vintage, cute, watercolour …

You can find more on my blog (http://www.treebug.org/). The name incorporates my passion for environment (»tree«) and cardmaking (»bug« is short for my green friend Cuttlebug)

Tina has chosen

the letter K for Key which has been teamed with V for the colour Vermillion.

So I would like to see a key of some description wooden, stamped or even a key charm on your creations and the colour Vermillion (which can be brilliant red or scarlet). The colour does not have to be the whole of card it can just be a red bow or ribbon/ lace or design paper.

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 Tina's card for you.

You can't see easily here but this is a lovely twisted easel card.

Please visit Tina on her blog Here for more details.

Thankyou Tina for being my Guest Designer for #80.

There were 28 entries for the Bingo themed challenge. Thankyou all for continuing to play along . Three new players joined in so welcome.

Apologies to Shilpa as I do not have Instagram so was unable to either open your card or leave a comment. I was frustrated by this as your card looks to be a pull up one and very pretty.

Interestingly 19 of you chose to go with the middle line of

Bling/Butterfly/Blooms

Was that simply because it was in the middle so caught your eye more I wonder!

#80 Butterflies + B is for Bingo lines and/or the colour Heather

Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge. Winners results for #79 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.

So lets get down to business. This challenge is:

#80 butterflies + B is for Bingo lines and/or the colour Heather

Here is the bingo board for you to follow.

You can choose any line you like providing that it disects the middle square containing the butterfly.
So to clarify you can use
Buttons/Butterfly/Bows
Borders/Butterfly/Beads
Banners/Butterfly/Brads
Bling/Butterfly/Blooms

When playing please state which line you have chosen to use.

As usual there is an optional colour to use on your projects which this time is Heather.

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 my inspiration for you.
