Botanical Prints.

 Hello everyone: I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

*****************************************************

I have a card to share today using a technique I've never used before, I had fun and the best part is that I got to see and appreciate even the most humble of plants......WEEDS, they too have pretty patterns and shapes and their flowers are really beautiful. 


You might think these images came from stamps but they are from a couple of leaves I found outside, here's a picture of them after I passed them through the Big Shot to get the impressions.

Talk about Mother Natures' beauty, even if they are weeds.

Here is the inside.

And this is what I used.
The sentiments are from a Power Poppy set called "Nature's Carpet"

I want to play with these challenges.



Besides the leaf imprints, I used a stamp for the sentiment and I scored the leaf frames, I hope you can see the lines in the corners of the images.




Autumn Blessings.

Thank you for visiting me today, and please, stay healthy and safe.
XO
Maria.

YOU DID WHAT ? You really did capture the overlooked beauty of the weeds of Mother Nature ! You are just so creative and look what you made !!!

This was the most fun challenge and you got great results with the particular technique you tried. Love how you chose a classic leaf as well as the leaf with all the spiny, jagged edges. A thistle, maybe? Nature is full of awesome stuff! Maria I'm so glad you gave Bonnie's challenge a try and shared with us at CAS Mix Up!

So... the green impression is simply from running these through the Big Shot? No ink? How about that! I just love botanicals! I dare you to run a mushroom through the Big Shot well no maybe it’s best not too! Ha!
