So this month we would like to see you use Die cuts or Stencils on your cards, as well as the usual FLOWERS of course too. 

To clarify things you can use either Die-Cuts or Stencils or both. 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.

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!

Please don't forget to use your Florals as always and as the MAIN feature on your card.

The Flower Challenge Winner & Picks for the Month of February 2023

                                                 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 February challenge was
