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.

Beautiful! It is very interesting how the colors are turning out on this technique. Your embossed flowers were perfect for your bg.
