These two cards were made as a result of pressing the leaves between 2 panels of cardstock or watercolor paper, placing both panels in a folded piece of typing paper and running it through the die cut machine. I then cut each panel using a stitched die.
Next, I added the greeting and glued the panel to some fun foam to keep the warping to a minimum. The only embellishments I used for this card were the three tiny pearls.
You can do this with any green leaf that is still moist. The chlorophyll in the leaf acts as a natural ink that is transferred to the paper "sandwich" giving you two prints at a time. Try it--it's fun!

I tried this technique with geranium blossoms once! I was surprised at how they turned out! Will try with clover. I love these!
