The Flower Challenge Winner & Picks for the Month of November 2022

                                                   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.


The Winner for our November challenge was






Absolutely stunning card, the watercolouring, the colours and all that sparkle truly
eye-catching. Enna was in top form this month not only is she winner but she was also
chosen as Top Pick by the Design Team.

The Flower Challenge #74 Add Embellishments

 Welcome to The Flower Challenge! This is the challenge that celebrates cards using floral images. Our challenge for November 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 'Add Embellishments', so think sequins, gems, washi tape etc. to 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!

Just a quick message from me (Viv), as I and my OH are both having health issues atm. and we are also decluttering for a house move too, I will be stepping back from managing the challenge...not sure for how long. 
Aileen has been kind enough to step up and take over, thanks Aileen. I will still be doing some things such as graphics etc. and helping out where I can and keeping an eye on stuff. I am still making cards for the challenge atm. also. Thanks for understanding ;) Viv x





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.




Our Guest Designer this month is the fabulous Hannelie who was also our winner for August. Do check out her blog/Instagram if you have a minute as she makes such fabulous cards.
