The Flower Challenge Prize Winners and pics for the Month of May 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.

         We have a PRIZE to give away to our lucky winner this time too Altenew 

         have been kind enough to provide a beautiful stamp set for our

winner.

  Aileen also had an Altenew stamp set to give away on her own blog.

I am pleased to say that the winner was...... Karren Johnson from
Stamping Stuff.  See all details HERE.

They have such amazing stamps/dies/stencils/inks
......the list goes on and on. We all love to use their products and please
check them out if you haven't already. Here is the stamp set 
below they are giving away to our winner.
