Today I have a card to share that I made using 3 Impatien blooms and leaves from my garden and laying them between two layers of watercolor paper and running them through my Big Shot to 'press' them.
I love doing this with blooms from my garden - some work better than others - and green leaves with all of their chlorophyll work really well.
The moisture from the leaves and blooms always make the watercolor paper warp a bit - you can see two creases on the panel - one on each side.

I need to do this with my granddaughter, I think she would love it! Your three Impatiens are marvelous, Julia. I spot three leaves too! Thanks for playing along with us at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteone of my favourite techniques. I just love the pattern created by the flowers and the leaves ♥
ReplyDeleteSuch an ethereal look, Julia - love this!
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely. I have never tried that. I think I might have to give it a go xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely botanical print, Julia! I love the contrast between the soft colored flowers and green leaves! And you have the perfect sentiment!
