Hi I'm over at Magenta today with a fun background technique. I used plants placed between two pieces of Mixed media paper and run them through my die cutting machine. I hope you head over to find out more 😏
It's amazing how much detail you can get from the leaves.
Stamps used
I hope you like it the technique and would love to hear from you 😊

Beautiful Christine, I have used this technique as well and love the result, mine were with flowers and just loving this card.xx
Beautiful card and amazing technique! I can't wait to try it. We have a lot of maples and a gingko on our property to try this with.
LOVE this card and so happy I got to see it in real life. Amazing background with your pressed plants, Christine. The wildflower stamp in that rich brown is just the perfect image for your background. Spectacular card, my friend! xx
WOW! I've tried this technique with flowers but not with leaves. I LOVE how they make a nice neutral background! I need to go pick some and give this a try.
This is so beautiful! The colors of your background and the stamp coordinate perfectly! I'm going to have to try this technique. Thanks for the inspiration!
So gorgeous and brilliant. Pressed plants!... who would have thunk - you of course! Love the technique, texture and dimension. xx
I love this! I used to have access to leaves when I lived on the east coast. Not so much in the desert. Mainly cactus and scrub pines. I really miss the pretty leaves. Not enough to move back, though. I'm going to head over and see the process.
I just came from Magenta. Wow!!
Love this card - so glad I got to see it in real life!
WOW! I think I like this better than Eco-printing! What great definition in the plants! I remember doing this with flowers and just got a squishy mess. This is so crisp and your silhouette is perfect on it. Now that spring is almost here I can't wait to try it. Thanks again for the inspiration.
Gorgeous pressed plants for your background and stamped wild flowers, Christine. I love your simple framing and sentiment too. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy

Wow, this is amazing, Christine! I love this gorgeous pressed plants background! The colors and all the detail from the real leaves are simply stunning. It looks like the wildflowers are swaying with joy. :-)
