Welcome to The Flower Challenge! This is the challenge that celebrates cards using floral images. Our challenge for October is 'Add Sparkle'.

So we would like to see something sparkly/ shiny/ shimmery on your card....glitter, sequins, gems etc. That should be another easy one I think. See our DT's examples below if in doubt. Read on for lots more surprises this month too!

The Flower Challenge 'Picks for the Month of September' and Prize Winner!

                    
   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.

 This month we are very lucky to have a prize for the winning card!
 Michele from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps has kindly agreed to donate
 a prize for our winner.
The winning entry will receive a voucher for $25, so they
 can buy whatever they like.


       IMPORTANT
         (Please remember to claim your prize within a week or the
         prize will be given to our next winner in the list.)
       Please can the winner email us with your name and full address
      so we can give you details of how to claim your prize.
