The Flower Challenge #19 Reminder

Welcome back to The Flower Challenge. It's the midway point in our current challenge and here is a reminder. This month we want to see 'Shaped Cards'.

It would be great if you could add our cue card above when entering our challenge. Of course most of all......have fun !

So this month we are looking for cards with different shapes. Not the usual square or rectangular cards but something different. If in doubt as always see what our Design Team have come up with to guide you.

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 March)

  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 lucky winner this month also wins two Floral Digital Stamps, kindly
   donated by Eunji Jung from DotBStamp.

The Winner for this month is

 Karen Russell
