I made some leaf prints a year or so ago and I love the color that these leaves come out, so I printed some more of them. It's a green leaf but it prints in purple. However when the leaves first come out in the spring, they are a dark purple. It's a cool bush. I sort of used the same color family as Patti and a bit of the design she used. I love her card found here: Gorgeous Thinking Of You Card by pspapercrafts at Splitcoaststampers
I was glad to make some leaves like hers.

Pat, this is a gorgeous card. I love the soft color of your pressed leaves.We have the same plants around our pool area and I've pressed them like this as well.

This is fabulous, Pat! I adore your leaf prints..they are perfect! When I did some of those leaf prints, I had some maple leaves that turned out purple. The were actually red when I ran them thru the big shot.

I'm a giant fan of leaves, and these colored in a non-traditional color are so very cool!!! Purple is my favorite color, and the shade you have used here work so well because it has a very earthy color. Such great detail in these leaves which makes them look SO realistic!!!
The sentiment has the coolest background with all of those swirls, it helps add to the cohesive whole, wow!!!
I love it when I learn from looking at talented artists' artwork as I do here--I have much to learn...
