So this month we would like to see you use the colours Brown and Pink on your cards (as well as flowers of course), a white card base is allowed as always on our colour challenges as are touches of white.
We are being sponsored this month by the amazing Bugaboo Stamps with a $12 gift code for our winner , (approx 4 digital stamps). Such beautiful and fun digital stamps to be found there, do pay them a visit if you haven't already! All the design team have been given some of their stamps to use on their cards also.
"Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay
As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided
to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by
opening an online store full of her illustrations.That was ten years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week".
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. Bought flowers or ones just cut out from design paper are NOT allowed. If in any doubt please do ask.

The Flower Challenge Winner and Showcase for August 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.
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.
Anyway here are the ones we chose this time below, hope
you agree with our choices ;)

happy to say. We really don't like leaving anyone out though and struggle
not to choose ALL of your amazing cards. If we could choose all of
you we would!
