The Flower Challenge #60 Reminder

  Welcome back to The Flower Challenge. It's the midway point in our current challenge and here is a reminder. This month our theme for September is





It would be great if you could add our cue card above when entering our challenge. Of course most of all......have fun ! 

So this month we would like to see you use the colour 'Turquoise' on your card, (it doesn't have to be the flowers) as well as the usual FLOWERS of course too. . To clarify things further, a white/kraft/grey/black  neutral card base is always allowed as is a small amount of green for leaves etc., also neutral colours like black, white, grey in small amounts are allowed too, just make sure you use enough of the main colour theme, HTH. If in any doubt, see what our Design Team has made below.


Please don't forget to use your Florals as always and as the MAIN feature on your card.
Only 6 other challenges allowed as well as our own.

Also please take a few minutes to read our rules in the tab above as you may lose out on winning a prize sometimes too. Bought flowers or ones just cut out from design paper alone are NOT allowed. If in any doubt please do ask.


Just to add that you can find us on facebook and also Instagram too. Our Instagram page is @theflowerchallenge2...remember the 2 at the end ;) All links in sidebar.

The Flower Challenge Winner and Picks for the Month of August 2021

  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 is always a difficult decision again picking our Winner and
 Showcase ! We  always struggle to narrow them down I assure you.
 Anyway here are the ones we chose this time below, hope
 you agree with our choices ;)


So ...drum roll...here is who won!


We had a prize for our winner this time too, see

 details HERE. Please can you email us at the address below

 to claim your prize within 7 days.
