Picks for The Month of July

                                                                                 
Hi everyone. 

  It's been another very busy month here at 'The Flower Challenge' and we 
are so happy to see so many people joining us in our 10th challenge.

   
                                      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 this month is 
                                                     
                                                                              Gwendolyn

                            We all loved this bright and beautiful card, well done Gwendolyn!
