The Flower Challenge Prize Winners for the Month of October 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, this month we
 had ELEVEN PRIZES to give away to our ELEVEN lucky winners.
 This was to celebrate our 5th Birthday !


 So all  the DT have been asked to pick out ELEVEN winning cards that
 stand out to them and why. 
    The cards getting the most votes are posted on our Prize Winners
 post below.


Please email us at 
theflowerchallenge2@gmail.com 
 (don't forget the 2 at the end) within 7 days
to claim your prize. Otherwise it will be allocated to someone else.

See our October post for a list of all the prizes HERE
All the prizes will be allocated on a random basis.
The ones given by our DT will be allocated by country, 
after we have all made our winners selection.   

 
So many fabulous entries this time, it was so hard to pick just eleven
winners, but in the end we did.

 Here are the ones we chose this time, see them below, hope
 you agree with our choices ;)

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




The Winners for our October challenge were



It was a VERY close vote for our overall winner this time,
