We are now onto the 8th letter of the alphabet which is H. Winners results for #123 are in the post below. Make sure you check back as it could be you. Can I please ask that Winners do acknowledge their prize in the comments on the Winners post as well as emailing their details to me. This way I will know to expect an email. Please state if you are only playing for fun so that it gives someone else the chance to win.
Please note that this Challenge is now back to the normal 2 wks.
Come on in.
Lets Spin the Butterfly Wheel.
Each challenge will be a letter of the Alphabet with a choice of 3 Colours and 2 Themes all beginning with the chosen letter.
New for this Yr. The 7th element of the wheel is a card shape.
(The discerning amongst you will notice that there is now an added page along the top under the Butterfly Banner called Card shapes.)
There will be a card shape for the letter being used for each challenge and I will be showing a tutorial on this page with hints and tips for making the cards.
The card shape is not mandatory but if you do use it you will qualify for the top prize without having to combine all of the other 6 elements onto your card. You must of course use your butterfly. The shapes will all be easy ones, just a different way to either fold or cut your basic cardbase.
If you don't want to use the card shape then
You can either choose a Theme or a Colour from the wheel + Butterfly to be entered for the 1st Prize.
If you use a Butterfly + a Theme + a Colour from the wheel then
you will be entered into the 2nd Prize.
Please state in your post which part of the wheel you are using to play with.
Second card uses Hinged card /Hot Pink/Heat Embossed/ Butterfly.
Third card is also a hinged card but uses a Hexagon die to make the card shape. Uses Hinged card /Hot Pink/Hunters green/Hexagons/ Butterfly.
You can see more details of the cards here on my blog.
Also check out the Card shapes Tab at top of page to see how to make a Hinged
Card.

Hi Mrs A,
ReplyDeletemanaged to make one this time around out of snippets left over from another card.
Did manage most of the elements but failed on the Hexagon.
Your cards are such wonderful inspiration as always.
Love the patterned hinged cards such a very fab designs.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Thanks for another great challenge. Had to find my ink and embossing powder which was a bit of a mission but glad I did as I was able to use all seven elements again. Looking forward to what you have come up with for I.
ReplyDeleteLovely samples, love the first one, so pretty x Amanda x
