Some DT news also, our fabulous team members Jyoti and Dhruvika are leaving us I am sad to report. I think sometimes life just gets in the way......anyway really sorry to see them leave us and I am sure you all wish them well in the future. All the team will miss them both I know ......and their beautiful cards of course too.
Happy to say we are welcoming two new DT members this month, the amazing SathyaKala Sankaran and the equally amazing Nancy Penir. I know you will all give them a big welcome and I am sure they will both inspire us all with their fabulous creations each month.
See their first beautiful cards for our challenge as DT below ;)

The Flower Challenge Winner and Picks for the Month of June 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 Winner for our June challenge was
No #6 Marcia Hill
clever use of embossing and pretty flower spray.
Congratulations and don't forget to grab your badge below.
The Top Picks chosen by the Design team were

the blue and yellow colour theme so well too.
