The Flower Challenge #46 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 'Summer/Winter'.







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 some reference to Summer or Winter on your cards. As we are a global Design Team and so many of our entries are world wide too it's most likely either Summer or Winter where you are atm. 

So you could choose Summer or Winter flowers or just go with Summer or Winter colours for example. Just make sure to use flowers as always of course!


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 sometimes too. Bought flowers or ones just cut out from design paper are NOT allowed. If in any doubt please do ask.


Just to add 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.

Our Guest Designer this month is Mac Mable from thesweetestofpeas  do try and visit her   as you are in for a treat if you haven't already. Here is a reminder of her GD card.

Flower Challenge Winner & Showcase for the Month of June 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'.

     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.

As usual there were so many fabulous cards, we struggled to 
narrow them down for our showcase again. We do seem to
 agree on which we all like in the end luckily though so that helps.

 This time the top two were so very close! Anyway here are the ones 
we chose this time below, hope you agree with our choices ;)

     
So ...drum roll...here is who won!


The Winner for our June challenge was

 No #26 Darnell
