When I saw Pounded Flowers for the TLC for today, I was overjoyed. I used to do pounded flowers all the time - with a hammer. Let me tell you, there is a big difference. The cuttlebug really squishes and that's all I will say. Nice neat dainty flowers are not on the menu for today.
Didn't want to waste any more watercolor paper, so here's mine. It started out as a folded paper that would be the card, but I cut off the back half because it was a smooshed mess. The square cut with a small nestie for the sentiment was on the back.
Can you believe these are bright red geraniums?? I think they got the life squeezed out of them. LOL I colored a little with a colored pencil, added a piece of paper doily, ribbon, a charm and some matching paper flowers.
Sentiment is from Inkadinkado. Edges are inked. tfl

Yup, lots of squishy, mooshy flower bits in the garbage can in my 'rubba room' but what fun it was to see what the results were. Your card turned out very pretty - love the way you did the sentiment panel.
