The Flower Challenge #16 Reminder

       Welcome back to The Flower Challenge. 
                        It's the midway point in our current challenge and here is a reminder

                                                                     
      
                      
                           It would be great if you could add our cue card above when
  entering our challenge.

Of course most of all....have fun!
                          
This month we would like to see you do some 'Spotlight
 Stamping' on your cards. An example of this is to stamp 
a black and white image on your card. Then 'Spotlight'
 a portion of the image using some colour.

If in doubt see what our Design Team has made below.
  
                                   Also please remember to use your Florals and they must be
                                                       the MAIN image on your card.
                                                             
and here is some more wonderful inspiration
 from our design team.

The Flower Challenge 'Picks for the Month of December'

  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 this month is
