Welcome to The Flower Challenge!
This is the challenge that celebrates cards using floral images.

It's just amazing to think we have been going for a year already.
Thank you so much for making such a success of our challenge blog.
We have all been so thrilled to see your beautiful cards in our gallery.
They have all been worthy of winning and we have had to think very
long and hard which to choose. I hope you will all continue to share
your lovely creations with us in the coming year.
Also there are yet more surprises for you all !

This month we want to see you use your favourite flowers on your

them out and use them on your cards.
