The Flower Challenge Winner & Picks for the Month of August 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.
Love these gorgeous pastel flowers and the dotty background.
Such a gorgeous card, many congratulations Kristin!
Congratulations and don't forget to grab your badge below.
The Top Pick chosen by the Design team was
