Wow, there were a lot of entries to this challenge. Thanks you to everyone who played along. 
The randomly drawn winner is Tammey - congrats!!!


One randomly chosen very lucky winner will receive this amazing Spring Bundle sponsored by Echo Park. 

In honor of this prize, I want you to create a flower garden on your layout. Specifically, you will need to use at least 2 types of flowers totaling at least 12 flowers, plus you need to use stems and leaves (at least 2 of each). Flowers on your patterned paper do not count unless they are fussy cut. 

For my example, my 2 types of flowers are little flowers from Prima and die-cut flowers (which I cut using sizzix dies and paper scraps). My stems were all die-cut (but you can use any type including just drawing them on the background), I have die-cut leaves in my flower garden and I also have stamped leaves from my grapes (but you only need  1 type of leaves). 


Summary:

• This is due Sunday May 9 at midnight. 
  
• Open to layouts only (paper and digital)
  
• Must be new
  
• At least 12 flowers of at least 2 different types
  
• At least 2 stems
  
• At least 2 leaves
  
• No combining except with the 25 items challenge
  

Any questions, just ask, and have fun!

 

What a great prize pack and your sample is lovely.  Can't wait to get started!!

Beautiful prize pack!  I love flowers on all my layouts

Question: Could this cutfile be one of my 6 flowers? (It has 7 roses) It also have a bunch of leaves, would those count?

yes, that is fine.

This was so much fun, and gave me a chance to use my Maggie Holmes stash and Bo Bunny botanical stamps. There is stamping, stickers, cut outs, and even some drawing.

Love love this challenge. Being an avid gardener I love using flowers and Shimells collection was perfect for my Epcot photos. 

Here is mine! I love coloring in cutfiles using watercolors, and then backing them with vellum!

Awesome challenge! 

Love it!

I really enjoyed this challenge. 

Used a die cut, cut twice. Then small Prima flowers. I used sticker leaves and then drew some leaves and stems. Layout of me in kindergarten (1969).

I think I fixed it. Having some trouble pasting today. 

I created this layout on a heat embossed chipboard piece.

I don't use flowers that much on my layouts so I found this a great way to flex my creative muscles. My favorite is the large foam flower that I made.

These are pictures of my late mother's flower gardens.  Sorry for the dark shadows but it's quite thick and I couldn't get a better scan.

Great Challenge!!
