For today's CAS challenge - Jenn would like us to use leaves - real if possible.
I went outside and picked up some Red Japanese Maple leaves off my driveway.
I laid them over a panel of water color paper, face down, then layered another panel of water color paper over the back of the leaves. I took a piece of computer paper, folded it in half and laid the water color paper sandwich inside the fold (like a shim). Then I ran it through my Big Shot several times to get a good press.
The panel with the leaves face down on it comes gives a darker press (I made my card from this) the panel over the backs of the leaves comes out lighter.
I tried using very colorful orange maple leaves but they must have been too dried already as they hardly left a print.
You can try green leaves from plants as well as flower blossoms - trial and error on what presses well!
I'm also linking my card to AAA cards Challenge.
