What a fabulous combination of real and stamped leaves Christine, and the impressions are wonderful that you got by pressing the leaves through your die cutting machine, and love the delightful platinum embossed leaf over the top of one and also the smooshing with acrylic which makes such a gorgeous background. x

A great use of Fall foliage and a great way to make it last a bit longer!

How great is this? I can tell this was fun for you to do and it’s something I must try. Love your unique color choices and great design work on there. I also love how you were able to selectively “smoosh” your acetate. Fantastic cards!

Gorgeous maple leaf cards Christine. Love this technique of using nature to make beautiful prints. Great idea to acetate smoosh colour to add to the backgrounds. xx

This is an absolutely innovative use of pressed plants. Combining them with watercolor applied with acetate is brilliant. Stunning end result! I have a lot of imprinted pressed plants, and now you have inspired me how to use them. Thank you, you are a very creative artist
