The Flower Challenge #37 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 'CAS'.
 

So CAS means .....keep it clean and simple...one main image,lots of open space..'meaning no patterned areas' ,limited layers and embellishments, easy to create. If in doubt as always, see our DT's examples below.

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

Please don't forget to use your Florals as always and as the MAIN feature on your card.
Only 6 other challenges allowed as well as our own.
Also please take a few minutes to read our rules in the tab above as you may lose out on winning a prize this time too.

  
We have a PRIZE to give away again this month. The amazing Michele from 
CAS-ual Fridays stamps has generously agreed to give our lucky winner this month a
prize of $25 to spend in their store. All the Design Team have used CAS-ual Fridays stamps also on their cards. Michele was kind enough to supply all of our team  and our GD with her lovely stamps.

Please check out their shop and blog to see what wonderful products and inspiration they have there, you won't be disappointed !

 We also have another guest Designer this month, the amazing Tina Magnusson, do check out her blog and see her fabulous cards. 

It's also our 3rd Birthday...happy days! so here is a little banner so we can all celebrate ;)

 And here is some more wonderful inspiration from our design team.(Do try and visit their personal blogs and leave them some comments please)

The Flower Challenge Prize Winners and pics for the Month of September 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 TWO of our lucky winners this time, 

       the fabulous MFT or My Favorite Things to give them their proper name

       have been kind enough to provide us with two $40 vouchers. (Not only

        that they have also been kind enough to provide a stamp set for

all of our DT's and GD to use also.)

 Look HERE  to see
 all of their lovely stamps/dies/stencils etc.

Anyway all the team have chosen TWO lucky winners ;) 
It was such a hard job this time too, we had sooo many fabulous entries
and your cards were just so mind blowingly gorgeous! It took us
quite a while to decide on the final two winners.

Please can the TWO lucky winners email us with your name and full address
so we can give you details of how to claim your prize.
Our email address is below.
