The Flower Challenge 'Picks for the Month of April 2019'
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 April challenge was
We loved this colour combo, the flowers are so beautifully coloured too
and that base with the weave look so eye catching also.
