Welcome back to the new style/format Butterfly Challenge. Thank you all for playing along  with the last challenge.  Numbers were  up so hope the new colour combination will still be to your liking.    Winners results for #97 are  published  in the post below. Make sure you check back as it could be you. All the prizes have been claimed and sent out on the last challenge. Please state if you are only playing for fun so that it gives someone else the chance to win.   There are 3 prizes for this challenge again.

Come on in.

Lets Spin the Butterfly Wheel.

Each challenge will still be a letter of the Alphabet but there will  now be a choice of 3 Colours and 3 Themes all beginning with the chosen letter.
You must use your butterfly/ies on your creation, 
then you can either choose a Theme or a Colour from the wheel  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.
New for this Yr.
If you manage to use all 7 elements of the wheel then you will be entered into a 3rd Prize.

So lets get started.
The wheel for this challenge is

#98 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with the letter T. 

A couple of bloggers have queried the colour of Thistle with me. I have used  Wikipedia's  excellent site for obtaining most of the colours chosen for the wheels. I then went through all my Promarkers,Marvey le PlumeII, Graph'it and Spectrum Noir pens to find the nearest colour match for me to use.
Below is the pen colour I found nearest to Thistle and is what I have used for my cards. Hope this helps.


Here is my inspiration for you.

 My First card. Using Butterfly/ Tomato / Twine.

 My Second card. Using Butterflies as the two Identical Items/ Teal.



 My Third card.  Using Butterflies / Thistle/ Triangles.

Last card uses all seven elements. 




Please go to my blog here  for how they were made.

Lets see if anyone  use all seven elements of the wheel for their card.

Winners #97

Pleased to say that the Telephone line is back up and working. Internet went down at the weekend but is now reconnected so what else could possible go wrong?
Switched my Ipad on and zilch, nada, not a sausage forth coming from it. Now as I need the Ipad as my backup for still being able to communicate on line ( for when the internet frequently goes down) I was a bit put out to say the least. A not so quick  phone call to Apple help line and hours later I finally get a reservation at the Genius Bar (I think they may need to pull the genie out of the bottle for this one though) at my local store for some TLC. I did ask if I could also get some TLC for me but it rather fell on deaf ears!! 
Watch this space for further developments but for now ever onwards.
Thank you for playing along in the last challenge. Wow. 52 entries this time round  and  what a selection there was. Ten people managed to use all seven elements on their cards so well done . 
 All of the entries were great  but  I have chosen the following as my
