After seeing Karen's sample for the TLC601 challenge, I just had to get outside to look at available leaves. I'll use this technique again ... a very cool technique. I chose uniquely green wild grape leaves ... yet the results look quite brown/earthy!

The results look quite beautiful, even if not green. I am getting such a lesson in North American botany today...most people are using plants I don't even know the name of.

Beautiful, peaceful card. I agree with Tranna! It looks like a stamp, and becomes even more beautiful when one realizes it's pressed leaves! It's amazing what happens with colors then this technique is used.

How gorgeous, Bev! Waaaaaaaa...I don't have any grape leaves! And the beautifully shaped ivy leaves I tried, did absolutely nothing. Love how perfect yours turned out!
