hi there,
Here is my card for 2 challenges today; the MIX which is called Smash It (flowers) and the F4A called Odds (I smashed 5 geranium flowers and 3 buds-hope that's ok that I used the flowers instead of stamps)
I placed them onto my watercolour paper and rolled them through my Cuttlebug. When dry, I brushed the flowers off and added some details and a watercoloured bkg.
I'll post a picture of the deep pink geraniums I used...funny how they printed purple.
Thanks for looking,

GORGEOUS(do you create any other kind???), Karen. "Pounding" the flowers often gives surprising results as to colors obtained. One can see where natural dyes come from sources you'd never guess.

Beautiful! Great idea to used the geraniums. I may have to try it...I have one really hot pink, almost purple geranium. Somehow it survived winter in the garage & came back when I put it out this spring.

Amazing what a terrific artist like you can do with some smashed flowers. Combined with your gorgeous bg, the flowers really come to life. This makes me think of a Monet panting. Just beautiful.
