Botanical Prints Using a Die Cutting Machine

Hi Everyone, I'm playing along with CAS Mix up with one of my favourite techniques - Pressed leaves through a die cutting machine following this technique- Press Leaves with Big Shot with France Martin (6:11)

Sandwich the leaves or flowers between watercolour or mixed media paper and run it through your die cutting machine. FYI you may find a lot of liquid comes out of the leaves, this is why you need paper that will absorb the water.

I rummaged through my garden looking for a mix of fall colours to play with, different greens and reds. The colours transferred from the leaf is a lot lighter than the leaf used.

I'm linking my first card up with CAS Mix up and added a little bee from Lavinia and a sentiment from Magenta.

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.

Treats on Tuesday at Magenta

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.
