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
Y
and
Your 6 elements are:
YoYo Spinner Card/ Yam/Yale Blue/ Yarrow/Yarn/Your Choice
+your Butterfly.
N.B. Yes these colours really do exist!!
