Thank you, Joan for hosting the TLC Challenge today! This technique was quite different and I thought I should really give it a try... glad I did, but not sure I'll try it again!
I APOLOGIZE for this card! I have NO idea how my vision ended up here, but it did! I wasted far too much time on it NOT to upload!
Hope someone out there thinks it was worth it!
I used the pounding flower technique on the oval piece under the bow and stamped on of the leaves from Lexicon of Leaves, by SU!
I made my pansy using this technique a friend found on Youtube and shared with me:

Jenna, this turned out beautifully, well worth the effort.. I have such a mesh in my craft room.. I made about 6 attempts with the crushed flowers, before I chose the one I used on my card.. I love your pretty handmade pansy... wonderfully done. tfs
