#162 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with T for Tower Flap Card.

The Butterflies are Back for another challenge.

The Winners  for #161 have been 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.

So lets get started.

The wheel is

T

and 

Tower Flap Card.

Your 6  elements are:

Tower Flap  Card/Two patterned papers /Twilight Lavender/Tea Rose/Thistle

+your Butterfly.

N.b.  Twilight Lavender  = Deep Lavender.

Please state the elements of Your Choice.

Here is my inspiration for you.

Also the tutorial for making this style is on the Card shape Page at the top under the banner header.
