Winners #88

There were 14 entries for the  'Zodiac ' challenge which was a bit of a brain teaser for you all. Amongst those of you that played for the Zodiac element 6 of them were represented so thankyou all for playing along this time round. All of the entries were worthy of a Top 3 slot  so picking my choices were quite hard. 


I have chosen the following 

In Numerical order

(5) Terrie

I just love how Terrie has taken hubby's and her birth signs on this card.

(8) Repolainen

I love the goat and the stars and the buttermilk...........................


(12) Lia

This one for Love (Sagittarius). Love All!

Congratulations to everyone. Please take a bow and help yourselves to the 
Top 3 Badge from the side bar.

So onto the Winner picked  by Random Org for this challenge.


(1) Jane Willis

I had Jane's card picked out as a possible Top 3 contender . The last time Jane won was back in 2015 on #21 so high time Mr Random pulled her number from the hat.

Post Script
If my posts appear a bit out of kilter it is because I'm desperately tying to keep up with the internet which is up and down like a yo yo tonight and won't let me go back in to edit posts. If something is missing tomorrow morning I will amend asap.

#88 Butterflies + Z is for Zodiac and/or the colour Buttermilk

Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge. Winners results for #87 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 nearing the end of  this year's themes. Where has all the time gone!  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  my next Guest Designer.

Lindsey
 (winner of #84)


Hi I’m Lindsey and am happily fluttering by to join the latest Butterfly Challenge.  In-between my day job working in a school I indulge my passion for making cards and I also run regular craft clubs (some for children and some for adults) which allows me to play with lots of different artistic mediums and techniques. I joined the Uniko Design Team in January 2016.  I’m a regular participant in many card-making challenges in Blogland and can also be found at stamping shows with the Uniko team if you want to pop by and say hello!


Lindsey   has chosen 

the letter Z for Zodiac which has been teamed with B for the colour Buttermilk.

Now I'm  certainly not advocating that you should go out and buy any stamps/dies etc to accommodate the theme so just take a minute or two and take stock of what you already have in your stash and really think outside of the box.

With twelve signs to choose from you could pick
Libra -  Scales  (or even just use a balanced design)
Gemini -  Twins (so two of something on your card)
Sagittarius (Love or arrows)
Virgo  (A woman)
Aquarius ( jug or water with flowers)
Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer can be  depicted by something of a fish/water scene.
Leo (lion), Aries (ram/ sheep), Capricorn (goat), Taurus (bull)
or even just stars/world for the universe.

Don't forget the butterfly though.


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.
Please state in your post which sign of the Zodiac you have used.

Here  is Lindsey's card for you.

Lindsey chose to use Stars for the Universe along with Buttermilk.

Please pop over to Lindsey's blog for more information on how her card was made.

Thankyou  Lindsey  for being my Guest Designer for #88.

Please take the  Guest Designer badge from the side bar.

Here is my inspiration for you.

My first card uses a lion  for the zodiac sign  Leo.

My second card uses Scales for  the zodiac sign Libra.
