Welcome Back
Winners #154 are now shown below this post.
Please Note
This challenge will be carrying on for a further week
and will now close on
Tuesday 20th April 8pm (BST).
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.

Wow, Mrs. A - your card is just fabulous! And I am always happy to see a birdie in the mix (hubby calls me a 'bird nerd'! lol). I will have to look at the instructions to make a lantern card - it looks fun! I would love to play for 1st prize using laser lemon with my butterflies. Thank you!!
A very interesting card for inspiration, that folding is just amazing!
I haven't made a Lantern Card for many years... and yours is amazing! Will try to find time over the next few weeks to put one together! TFS Kathy A at myasperations
Wow Mrs A... I am pretty sure I made one of these once before...must have a look to see if it was the same design!
Love your cards and this I have made before and it's awesome. xx
Thank you for this great challenge Mrs A. I have made him before but lovely again.
Hugs and love xx
Hi Mrs. A - your card is just gorgeous! I love this color combo and had so much fun making this fun fold lantern card. I'd love to play for top prize as I have used all the elements. Thanks so much for your continued generosity in having your fun challenges.
Mrs. A.,your lantern card looks fab. I didn't try it, but I know where to find the instructions when I'm ready. For how, I'm going to fly off and visit the other blogs with lantern cards posted and admire the beautiful project you inspire.
Such easy to follow directions for the lantern card! thanks.
Only playing for fun this time - sorry I've not managed a lantern card!!
So many beautiful Lantern Cards in the gallery. I'm sorry to have run out of time these past two weeks. At least I got an entry in.
Phew, Just made it!!! Im so behind with everything this last couple of weeks. Love your card, Hazel xx
I had every intention of trying that lantern fold, but my first attempt was such a dismal failure that I gave up. However, I went ahead with a simpler card design instead. Those fancy folds often get the best of me, but your tutorial was wonderful.
