#152 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with I for Inside Out Card.

Winners post for  #151 is now below.

Come on in.
Lets Spin the Butterfly Wheel.
Each challenge will be a letter of the Alphabet with  a choice of 3 Colours , 1 Theme and a specified  Card shape  all beginning with the chosen letter.

(The discerning amongst you will notice that there is an added page along the top under the Butterfly Banner called Card shapes.)
 I will be showing a link to a tutorial on this page with hints and tips for making the cards so just look under the letter being used for each challenge. 

The card shape is not mandatory but if you do use it you will qualify for the top prize. You must of course use your butterfly and the other elements.  The shapes will all be easy ones, just a different way to either fold or cut your basic cardbase.

Heads up that the Butterfly Challenge will run for  another week. I had my Covid 19 Vaccine yesterday and have had a really bad reaction to it. Out of the 15 tick boxes of possible side effects I have 10 of them and now feel completely drained.
