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
S
and
Step Block Card.
Your 6 elements are:
Sage Green/Salmon /Sky Blue/Stitching/Spots +your Butterfly.
N.B. Stitching = Can be either Real or Faux.

ReplyDeleteHello, Mrs. A! I decided to go with Sage Green and just linked up my card! I absolutely love your Step Block Cards and hope I will be brave enough to try it!
ReplyDeleteFabulous creations Mrs A! xx
ReplyDeleteI couldn't remember how to link the same post to two different photos so I wrote two different posts as I tried both your versions using the same papers. I'd never tried either shape before but they were both much more straightforward than they look, thanks to your excellent tutorials.
ReplyDeleteLove the Creations and the shapes of the cards, I didn't do tidying up so I could play!! Hee hee!! Managed to fit everything into the wee card, Hazel xx
ReplyDeleteOh, my...Mrs. A, your step fold cards are incredible! So impressive and beautiful. I am sneaking in here in crunch time with some sage green cards. I was so excited to pull some fun sage green goodies out of my Butterfly Box that you had sent me a long time ago. So much fun to use them!! Thank you again for those crafty goodies. I hope you like what I did with them. Thank you for another lovely challenge!!
