The Flower Challenge Winner & Picks for the Month of December 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.

As mentioned before due to Christmas Holidays we

decided to close the challenge earlier so I am announcing the 

winners earlier too.

We will be back on the 4th February, enjoy your Christmas !

The Winner for our December challenge was

Karren #27
