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 it's a Colour challenge we would like to see you use 'Blue & Yellow' on your cards, as well as the usual FLOWERS of course too. If in any doubt see the examples made by our talented Design Team below!

We were planning to use other colours but have changed it to Blue & Yellow to show our support for Ukraine once more. We are still displaying our blue heart with the sunny sunflower also.
To clarify things further, you are allowed to use green for leaves and small amounts of black or white for sentiments etc. Just make sure you use enough of the main colour theme on your cards. If in any doubt see the examples made by our talented Design Team below!
Our showcase will be announced in the usual manner, the day before the next challenge.

The Flower Challenge Winner and Picks for the Month of May 2022
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.
The votes were so close this time, it really was so difficult to agree on
a winner this month...but we did in the end, hope you agree with our choices.
The Winner for our May challenge was
bloom of course too. Such a glorious flower and colouring.
Congratulations and don't forget to grab your badge below.
The Top Picks chosen by the Design team were
(in order of entries)
No #6 Ina G
with the number fits the bill also.
No #7 Marcia Hill
Beautiful flower spray, the fab colouring and love the clever way
she added the numbers in the background too.
No #12 Jenny Martin
Great use of flowers covering the whole card front.
The large stand out 50 used like that was ideal for this challenge too.
Congratulations and don't forget to grab your badge below.
The Honourable Mention for this month was
No #5 Cindy
Such wonderful pastel shading on the flowers
and the matching number too.
Congratulations and don't forget to grab your badge below.
