#86 Butterflies + A is for Any Shape and/or the colour of Quartz

Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge. Winners results for #85 are in the post below. Please make sure you check back as it could be you. Unclaimed prizes go back into the pot and there have been a few! Thankyou all so much for continuing to play along.
Well we are more than half way through this year's themes already!  I have thrown the letters up in the air this time round and the mix will be that the themes and colours will not be the same letter for each challenge. I have also sorted out some new prizes too.

I'm delighted to welcome back  my next Guest Designer.

Lia

 (Winner of #82)

My name is Lia van Bruggen – Vreman and I am a crafter as long as I can remember and I love several kind of crafts like cardmaking, cross stitching and stitching embroideries on cards, drawing/painting, etc.

Several years ago I designed my own workshops in painting on fabric, glass, wood etc. and teached groups of crafters. That was big fun for more than 12 years.

Also since 20 years I am a textwriter for the editorial staff of several Dutch Craftmagazines (look at the sidebar of my blog) and sometimes I make cards and other crafts (also for kids) to be published.

It’s very nice work and often I see the new products before you can buy them in shops!

I love blogging and discovering ideas from other crafters, because everybody has her/his own style.

And I think you always can learn from each other!

Lia  has chosen 

the letter A for Any shape which has been teamed with Q for the colour Quartz.

So I would like to see any shaped card that is not just a square and as you can see below Quartz is basically any colour too.

Quartz colour definition:

 Quartz can be colourless, white, purple, pink, brown, black, also gray, green, orange, yellow , blue and red. Sometimes multi coloured or banded.

You may choose to use just the letter/theme + butterfly or use the colour +butterfly.

If you make your project using both the theme  letter and the colour +butterfly you will be eligible for going into a second draw to win an additional prize.

Here are Lia's cards for you.

Lia made two and has kindly allowed me to use them both.

Aren't they both a delight to look at. Please pop over to Lia's blog for more information on how they have been made. 

Thankyou  Lia  for being my Guest Designer for #86.
