The Flower Challenge Winner & Picks for the Month of May 2023

Now comes the hardest part of the Challenge.

We decided we didn't want to use the Random Picker as it was felt

that cards should be chosen for a number of reasons not 'luck of the draw'.

When we look at the cards entered we are each drawn to different styles,

techniques and designs. So all the design team have input, each has been

asked to pick out three cards that stand out to them and why.

The cards getting the most votes will then be posted on our Winners post

and the other cards will be listed under Top Pick and Honourable Mention.

The Winner for our May challenge was

#21 Trina P

Wow what a fabulous card here Trina! we all loved it, such a

great design and beautiful pastel flowers of course too! It
