Another Pressed Leaf Card


I couldn't resist using another pressed plant background. This time I added delphinium flowers by Magenta, I kept the background natural and coloured the Delphinium using pencils.


I just love the colours from the leaves, this time there was a lot of purples and pinks. 
 

I'm entering this for the flowing challenges

I love the look of using the pressed leaves. The flowers are beautiful and look wonderful with that background. If we ever get leaves I will be trying this.

I love the wonderful neutral backgrounds you achieve with that technique! It's so perfect for blue delphinium. I can't wait to try this! Waiting patiently for spring here but it's not happening.

This technique of pressing plants is amazing. I love these beautiful details created in this process and sometimes surprising colors. I have a few such panels, but for now they are waiting for their time in a drawer. I admire your card, perfectly composed background with your stamp and ink color.
Hugs,
