The prompts at Daisy Yellow never cease to inspire me. #44 is about using leaves in the process. Today was about making more fun-velopes, but with the added bonus of printing leaves upon them with acrylic paint and a dry brayer.
Awesome sauce!
To prepare, I used some plastic wrap on the table to guard against smoodges of paint and a big yogurt lid to hold and mix my paint. I dug out a brayer after trying to (unsuccessfully) print the leaves with only my hands.
What a difference a "bray" makes!
I love seeing the leaf prints on unlikely colors of paper! I cannot wait to show these off with friends tomorrow as we learn about the envelope puncher! There is just something to be said for good old-fashioned community!
On another note, the painting is another option for my card "collection". I cannot wait to get some prints made of these cards.
Thanks for stopping by!

Great idea - especially using a beater!
