This month we would like to see you use a die on your cards. If in doubt, as always see our DT's examples below for guidance.
Please don't forget to use your Florals as always and as the MAIN feature on your card.

Prize Winner and Picks for the Month of November 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, the fabulous Top Flight Stamps have agreed to give
our winner an e-gift card worth $25.
Look HERE to see all of their lovely stamps/dies/stencils etc.
