#153 Spin the Butterfly Wheel with J for Joy Fold 2

Winners post for  #152 will publish at 6pm (GMT).

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.

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
J
and 
Joy Fold Card 2.

I know that we have already done a Joy Fold once but I have found two more interesting variations of this card shape so I thought it worthy of a second play so hence the name of the challenge.

  Your 6  elements are:
Joy Fold 2/Jade/Jasmine/Japanese Carmine/Jewels
+your Butterfly.

n.b.   Jasmine = a pale hint of yellow
Japanese Carmine = light Burgundy
Jewels  = use your diamonds and pearls.

Please state the elements of Your Choice.
                
Here is my inspiration for you .

First card using:

For the Joy fold element a Buckle cCosure in place of the standard fold over.


 Joy Fold 2 /Jewels/Jasmine/Jade/Japanese Carmine/Butterfly



Second card using:

 Double Joy Folds which are also attached together. 

Joy Fold 2 /Jewels/Jasmine/Jade/Japanese Carmine/Butterfly.


You can see more details of /the cards here on my blog.
Also the tutorial for making this style is on the Card shape Page at the top under the banner header.

Hello, Mrs. A! Thanks for the challenge and beautiful inspiration! I did not try the joy fold but I made three cards for your challenge. The first two (#14, #15) I used Jasmine, and the third one (#16) I used Jasmine and Jewels. I hope you like them! Have a wonderful day!
