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.
So lets get started.
The wheel is
R
and
Your 6 elements are:
Riffle Green/Raspberry /Rajah/Ribbon/Raised Up +your Butterfly.
N.B. Rajah = Light orange colour
and
Raised Up = raised on 3D pads to give dimension.
N.B. Rajah = Light orange colour
and
Raised Up = raised on 3D pads to give dimension.
Here is my inspiration for you using:
First card.
Rocker Card/ Raspberry/Riffle green/Rajah/Raised Up/Butterfly.
Second card.
Rocker Card/ Raspberry/Riffle green/Rajah/Raised Up/Ribbon/Butterfly.
You can see more details of the cards here on my blog.

Wow!! Two amazing inspirations, so sweet and feminine!! Great colours combo and designs! Rocker cards are one of my fav card shapes, even if I used them rarely...
ReplyDeleteHope to have time to play.
Love rocker cards. Really need to try and join the fun. Your stepped rocker is awesome Mrs A. Hugz
ReplyDeleteI've NEVER managed to make a rocker card that's been stable, so I've gone for some of the other elements instead.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so unique and fun. I've seen this type of card a couple times; it looks intimidating! My card is playing for 2nd prize (theme & color). And a since thank you for the chance. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed making my 'Rocker' card.... a great challenge and your cards are fabulous ValeryAnne
ReplyDeleteA fairy box instead of a rockercard this time, but....Complete with butterfly!

So sorry I didn't make this challenge, Mrs. A. I haven't been feeling well this past week but hopefully I'm back on my feet and ready for the next one. Your card is GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteI had my step card base on my desk for a week before I decided how to decorate it and I'm rapt with the result....your butterfly challenge and shaped cards are such fun and a real challenge to try and combine different 'letter' elements... thanks for hosting them ValeryAnne - have a happy day, Robyn
