The Flower Challenge #74 Add Embellishments
Welcome to The Flower Challenge! This is the challenge that celebrates cards using floral images. Our challenge for November is ...
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 you 'Add Embellishments', so think sequins, gems, washi tape etc. to 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!
Just a quick message from me (Viv), as I and my OH are both having health issues atm. and we are also decluttering for a house move too, I will be stepping back from managing the challenge...not sure for how long.
Aileen has been kind enough to step up and take over, thanks Aileen. I will still be doing some things such as graphics etc. and helping out where I can and keeping an eye on stuff. I am still making cards for the challenge atm. also. Thanks for understanding ;) Viv x
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 Prize Winners & Picks for the Month of October 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.
Winners of course too after celebrating our 6th Birthday. The
prizes will all be chosen at random and everyone will be
informed by email what their prize is once they have claimed it.
If we have extra prizes to give away after winners have theirs we will also
choose other lucky winners.
Please can all the winners below email us at
theflowerchallenge2@gmail.com.
You have a week to claim your prize.
After that time we will choose
other winners from our picks.
The Winner for our October challenge was
