The Flower Challenge 'Picks for the Month of October'

Hi everyone. 

  It's been an amazing month here at The Flower Challenge and we have been blown away with all the support given to us in our first ever card Challenge.
We would like to say a special thank you to all those who have become followers of the Challenge and all the beautiful cards that have been linked up.   

Never in all our imagination did we expect to get so many entries. We thought setting up the blog was hard but now has come 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 towards 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 be featured on our winners post and the other cards will then be listed under 'Top Pick' and 'Honourable Mention'.


The Winner for this month is

TaeEun



I can honestly say it was an overwhelming vote
for this card. The watercolouring of this flower is stunning
and if you enlarge the image you can see all the different
colours involved here. Then the idea of partial cutting the
 image and adding a bit of sky and grass colour is
brilliant. Finished off perfectly with the sentiments and
clear sequins.

Congratulations TaeEun and please grab our
winner badge for your blog.




The Top Picks chosen by the Design Team are:






Congratulations to both of you.
Please grab our
Top Pick badge for your blog.


Honourable Mentions in Alphabetical 
Order are:














Congratulations Ashwini, Kathy, Mary
and Michele. Please grab our  Honorary Mention
badge for your blog.

 Thank you for joining us and helping to create a stunning gallery 
that celebrates floral stamps.

Vivien has made this wonderful badge for anyone who would 
like to display it on the sidebar on their blog.




 We hope you enjoyed playing along and that you'll come join us
 again for a new challenge starting 4th November.
