Leaf impressions are fun to make in Minnesota! We have so many big leafy trees and plants here to play with! I loved seeing the Ginkgo leaves that one of my adult students brought in...so beautiful!
Step one: clean the leaf with glass cleaner- I used Celadon Road Mint glass cleaner.
Step two: paint the leaf with ink, I used liquid watercolor and a spritz of glimmer mist. Place the leaf painted side down on to watercolor paper. Cover it with a folded paper towel.
Step three: print the leaf by pressing down evenly on the paper towel and leaf. Then carefully remove them to reveal the print!
Make a nature journal of your backyard flora... A greeting card... A change of season log... or ?
Have fun!
