The Flower Challenge #23 Reminder

Welcome back to The Flower Challenge. It's the midway point in our current challenge and here is a reminder. This month our theme is a 'One Layer card'

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 are looking for 'One Layer' cards. So a card made with one layer only, a single piece of card folded in half. No other layers allowed.

Just to clarify that means no added ribbon,twine, washi tape, vellum etc. as that counts as another layer sadly. The odd sequin or gem is allowed if they are small and only a very few of them are added. This seems to be the norm for other one layer card challenges so we are going with this too.

Please remember to use your Florals and they must be the MAIN image on your card.
Only six other challenges allowed as well as ours remember.

Also take the time to read our simple rules (found in top tab above), it's such a shame to miss out on being chosen for our showcase or even a prize sometimes ....see below ;)

Prize alert!...there will be a prize for the winning entry next month.......yipee !

This month we have the very talented  Milla from Mustesormi.blogspot.com as our Guest Designer. She makes such beautiful cards, please be sure to visit her blog and leave her a comment or three ;)


And here is some more wonderful inspiration from our Design Team.

The Flower Challenge 'Picks for the Month of July'

  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 July challenge was
