So this month we would like to see you focus on the background of your cards, as well as the usual FLOWERS of course too. If in any doubt see the examples made by our talented Design Team below!

Our showcase will be announced in the usual manner, the day before the next challenge.

Please note 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!

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.

The Flower Challenge Winner & Picks for the Month of March 2023

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 time there was not just one but TWO joint Winners for our March challenge.
Both cards got the same amount of votes from the DT, here they are below!
