Nature prints...

I have been playing with leaves. I was walking my daughter home from the bus and some beautiful yellow leaves were laying on the ground. We picked up 4 or 5 and she thought it was great fun.

I decided to stamp my leaves. Here are some pictures of my experience.

Here are some of the supplies I used to create the background.

Here is my first background:

Mini-Recipe:

1. Lay leaf on a scrap piece of paper. Ink leave with pigment ink.
2. Lay leaf with ink face down on white cardstock. Lay another piece of scrap over the leaf and brayer the leaf several times.
3. Lift leaf up and oohh and ahh over the detail you stamped.. :)
4. Cover with clear embossing powder and heat emboss.
5. Sponge golden yellow ink. Sponge brown ink around the edges.

Here is my second background:

I also used a poinsetta flower petal which provided the most detail. The poinsetta flower petal was gorgeous. I didn't end up putting it on a card because it was too large when I finished with it.

Here is the card I put together using the tree leaves.
