The Flower Challenge 'Picks for the Month of November'

  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.

It was very difficult to choose a winner this time! We all had four 
 clear favourite cards we liked. In the end one just pipped the post
as a winner I am pleased to say. So without further ado.....


 The  Winner for this month is

This is such a happy and bright CAS card, love the pretty
 flowers and how one is raised up to add interest also.


Love how you kept the stamped image B&W and then
added the soft splash of water colour just underneath it.

The Flower Challenge #14 Reminder

 Welcome back to The Flower Challenge. 
 It's the midway point in our current  challenge:

                                                                     
     

  It would be great if you could add our cue card above when
    entering our challenge.

   Of course most of all....have fun!
                         
  This month we would like you to make a CAS (Clean & Simple)
card. So minimal layers/embellishments  and lots of 'white space'
See examples below from our talented Design Team if you are
 unsure what to make.

Also please remember to use your Florals and they must be
   the MAIN image on your card.

(Just adding here that I quite forgot to tell the winners of
our Birthday prizes to claim an 'I've Won' badge, so sorry!
Please can all winners look in 'badges' tab above to claim
 them, thank you.)
                                                                       
and here is some more wonderful inspiration
 from our design team.
