back to The Flower Challenge. It's the midway point in our current challenge and here is a reminder. This month our theme is
'Monochrome'.
It would be great if you could add our cue card above when entering our challenge. Of course most of all......have fun !
So this month we would like to see a 'Monochrome' look on your cards.This means either 'black and white' or varying tones of one colour. We are allowing a white card base also, so you could have.. say.... a white card base with shades of purple stamped flowers or dies on as an example.
If in any doubt see the cards made by the design team made below.

The Flower Challenge #44 Monochrome
Welcome
to The Flower Challenge! This is the challenge that celebrates cards using floral images. Our challenge for May is .....
Of course most of all....have fun!
So this month we would like to see a 'Monochrome' look on your cards.This means either 'black and white' or varying tones of one colour. We are allowing a white card base & touches of white also, so you could have a white card base with say shades of purple stamped flowers or dies on as an example.
If in any doubt see the examples made below by our talented Design Team below!
Talking about our Design Team, we are sad to say our talented team member Rachel Vass has made the difficult decision to step away from us. She now has her own business of course designing and selling her own range of amazing digital stamps, see RachelVassDesigns.
Rachel will be sorely missed of course but we all wish her well and hope she will pop back with the odd card in our gallery sometimes also. We won't be replacing her as I think we have enough DT members at the present time, just for your info.
Our showcase will be announced in the usual manner, the day before the next challenge.
Please note that you can find us on facebook and also Instagram too. Our Instagram page is @theflowerchallenge2...remember the 2 at the end ;) All links in sidebar!

The Flower Challenge Winner and Picks for the Month of April 2020
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'.
'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.
