Joan Ervin gave us a unique challenge today for the TLC. It was called "Pounded Flowers". The challenge and tutorial are here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I had some wilting hydrangeas on our kitchen table and thought I would try it with them. They were mainly blue-violet, but there was one pink-violet one. I wet my watercolor paper and ran them thru my CB. Surprise!! I got greys, tans, and shades inbetween!...no blues or pinks. BUT, I LIKED it!! I decided it could be an interesting bg for some other images. I thought an embossed silver would complement the bg. This really was a LOT of fun!! Thanks, Joan! Great job filling in for Holly today.

It's exquisite. Most of mine came out with similar colours but I had my mind set on English country garden look. Of course I wasn't creative enough to think of embossing pdw. You clever thing.
