The Flower Challenge Prize Winners and pics for the Month of May 2019
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'.
'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.
We have a PRIZE to give away to our lucky winner this time too Altenew
have been kind enough to provide a beautiful stamp set for our
winner.
Aileen also had an Altenew stamp set to give away on her own blog.
I am pleased to say that the winner was...... Karren Johnson from
