#155 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with L for Lantern Card.

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.

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.

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.
