Butterfly Challenge: April 2021

Welcome Back

Winners #155 are now published in post below this one.

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.
