I have been in a total quandary as to whether to keep this challenge going as numbers had been declining over the last few months but I'm pleased to see that the past 2 challenges have begun to pick up again.
To help instill more interest I have now made the challenge with more choices so come on in and play
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 enter for the 1st Prize.
If you use a Butterfly + a Theme + a Colour from the wheel then
you also will be entered into the 2nd Prize.
Please state in your post which part of the wheel you are using to play with.
The Challenge will still be Fortnightly but no Guest Designers at present
to make running the challenge easier for me.
So lets get started.
The wheel for this challenge is
#94 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with the letter C.
Here is my inspiration for you.
Please go to my blog here for further details on how they were made.
I wonder if anyone can use all seven elements of the wheel for their card.
1st Prize.
(for using either a theme or a colour with your butterfly/ies)
First card. Using Butterrfly/Cornflower Blue/ Corners.
Second Card. Using Butterflies/Checks/Crimson.
Please go to my blog here for further details on how they were made.
I wonder if anyone can use all seven elements of the wheel for their card.
1st Prize.
(for using either a theme or a colour with your butterfly/ies)
Dixi craft Flower/Butterfly Embossing Folder + Woodware clear stamp.
2nd Prize.
(for using both a theme and a colour + your butterfly/ies)
Cottage Cutz Butterfly die.
Please be sure to read all the rules on the tab above
and enter your creations in Mr Linky below.
Please also state if you are only playing for fun.
Happy crafting and see you soon.
You are showing beautiful cards and the new theme and colour are so inviting again!

Your new format sounds like a lot of fun and it wll definitely keep us on our toes.
ReplyDeleteYour samples are lovely.
Hello there! I have missed your challenge for many months but I am back to blogging now and hope to join you soon! I have sadly been neglecting my butterfly stamps and dies (again). Your new challenge looks so fun! There are a lot of choices so there's no excuse not to play! Congrats on going into your 5th year! I am so glad you kept the challenge going! You have made it fresh and fun with your changes - I like it! And I really like your Butterfly Wheel - you've made it easy to understand! Hope to see you soon! Thank you for the beautiful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGreat inspirational cards Mrs.A. Congratulations on entering your fifth year and I'm so glad you decided to keep the Butterfly Challenge going. I did have to think about this but at my age thinking is good!!! I'm glad to be back and joining in again. Hugs, Barbxx
ReplyDeleteOoh great new challenge and I love the cards you have made for inspiration! Hugs xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteFirstly, congratulations on entering the 5th year of the Butterfly Challenge! I'm one of those who have been missing for a while, but will hopefully bring out the butterflies soon! Love the new twist for the challenge.

Brilliant ideas as ever. My problem is there are so many challenges and I want to join in most of them but I'd have to give up work and never sleep. I wouldn't mind giving up work but I'd miss the sleep. I'd love to spin the wheel with these lovely themes so I'll hopefully see you in a few days. Your cream and blue card is charming. x
ReplyDeleteI love the changes! To be honest, having the wheel makes it clearer - a picture speaks a thousand words and all that malarky! Will be back to play if at all possible my friend!

great twist to the challenge components, not been around much due to other stuff happening but hoping to get going again. Love your sample cards, such pretty colours xx Amanda
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing 4 years and entering number 5!! Wow. That's a lot of beautiful butterflies fluttering around your garden. :) I like the new changes you made. Lots more options to inspire us.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Mrs. A!! I love the elegant corner treatments on the cornflower one and the perky checks on the crimson one. Both are just wonderful.
Thank you for another lovely challenge and for making this such a fun place for us to express our creativity!

I can totally identify with all you say Valery, I think it's rather sad that so many seem to be jumping the blogger ship for Social Media sites (non of which I 'do').
ReplyDeleteMy apologies that I've MIA for so long, but slowly creeping back into blogland and will 'do better' in the future.

A lovely pair of cards for inspiration Valery and a super fun wheel to play with, used as many elements as I could on my card!
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly, I only discovered your challenge last year, but big congrats to your 5th year! The DT inspiration is fabulous!

I confess Mrs A I tend to be a season's crafter.....ie my butterflies will be flying out of my studio soon but not quite yet and I look forward to taking part again. Your is a lovely challenge and I am delighted you are still going to run it. Your card is so pretty and the new spinning the wheel is a great idea xx
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Mrs A!
ReplyDeleteWas saddened to read that you might have discontinued this challenge - I promise to try and enter more often in this your 5th year!
I know, I'm a bit like a bus, no show for ages then twice in as many days, but found another to fit the theme and wanted to try and encourage a few more to join in.

I am so happy to be able to play in this challenge! Please don't stop it. I haven't been able to do much crafting at all for months due to personal issues. But I am moving soon and setting up a new craft room and I will be retiring, too! Yay! More crafty time. ALL crafty time (ok, I guess I will clean the house, too, LOL).
ReplyDeleteLove the changes to the challenge, Mrs A, so pleased you are keeping the challenge going. Great cards for inspiration, as always. xx
