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.

So lets get started.
The wheel for this challenge is

#98 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with the letter T. 

A couple of bloggers have queried the colour of Thistle with me. 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.
Below is the pen colour I found nearest to Thistle and is what I have used for my cards. Hope this helps.


Here is my inspiration for you.

 My First card. Using Butterfly/ Tomato / Twine.

 My Second card. Using Butterflies as the two Identical Items/ Teal.



 My Third card.  Using Butterflies / Thistle/ Triangles.

Last card uses all seven elements. 




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

Lets see if anyone  use all seven elements of the wheel for their card.

Winners #97

Pleased to say that the Telephone line is back up and working. Internet went down at the weekend but is now reconnected so what else could possible go wrong?
Switched my Ipad on and zilch, nada, not a sausage forth coming from it. Now as I need the Ipad as my backup for still being able to communicate on line ( for when the internet frequently goes down) I was a bit put out to say the least. A not so quick  phone call to Apple help line and hours later I finally get a reservation at the Genius Bar (I think they may need to pull the genie out of the bottle for this one though) at my local store for some TLC. I did ask if I could also get some TLC for me but it rather fell on deaf ears!! 
Watch this space for further developments but for now ever onwards.
Thank you for playing along in the last challenge. Wow. 52 entries this time round  and  what a selection there was. Ten people managed to use all seven elements on their cards so well done . 
 All of the entries were great  but  I have chosen the following as my

Winners #96

Internet line is back up but the telephone line is now down. Apparently the internet only needs one wire into the house to work whereas the telephone requires to wires to be working. We shall see what BT have to say when the engineer turns up. 

Thank you for playing along in the last challenge. Not as many entries this time round (29 cards) but what a selection there was.  
 All of the entries were great and picking just three as Top 3 contenders was really hard  for me to do but after a lot of deliberating I have chosen the following

In Numerical order



(12) Esther.

I just fell straight in love with these adorable bunnies and their butterfly bows.

(15) Tone k.

Made with drinking straws!! I love the effect.

(21) Andrea B. 

To think that Andrea had contemplated binning this card. No way!!

Congratulations to everyone. Please take a bow and help yourselves to the 
Top 3 Badge from the side bar.

There was one  entry that entered either just a colour or a theme with their butterfly  

So
1st Prize.

Internet problems and winners #96.

Sorry but there will be a delay in publishing winners as my internet is down and I only have my iPad that I can use  which means  I can't upload  with the Top3 pictures  or download the winners from random org.
Will publish as soon as the Internet is back up.  The next challenge will go up at the normal time as it was fortunately scheduled before my internet problems.
