The Flower Challenge #12 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
                                        (or the grid one below) when entering our challenge.
                                                      Of course most of all....have fun!
                                                         

                       Don't forget to come back next month for our Blogaversary surprises too.
                          
 Here is our grid again as a reminder, you can choose any line.
 Either across, vertical or diagonal as long as you choose the 
 three elements there.
                                       
                                                                         


                                   Please also remember to use your floral images and they must
                                            be the MAIN feature on your card. See our challenge
                                                        rules in the tab above for more details.
                                                       
     and here is some more wonderful inspiration from our design team.

The Flower Challenge 'Picks for the Month of August'

                                                                            
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 11th 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.


 This month we have not one but two joint Winners!
(we just couldn't choose between them)
 lots of Top Picks and no Honourable Mentions this time.

 The Joint Winners for this month are 
(in order of entry)
  
 
All of these blues are stunning and love how you
just stamped over the top of each image.

The brilliant colours of the flowers against the black is
stunning. You did so well with the soft white pencil
 colouring.

So bright and cheerful, love the bright colours & clever 
background stamping.

 combo too.


Beautiful colouring again and such clever stamping
