Dana, from the previous posts, these are the most awesome leaves I've ever seen. They're so realistic! Would you provide information regarding your technique. I purchased various leaf cutters today with one idea in mind, but would love to attempt your style. Thanking you in advance. :wink:
Thank you Mary for your kind words. I purchased a set of cookie cutters. Made my paste in the color needed. Rolled it out very thin and cut with the cutter. You need a good veiner to make it look real. Once I put the veining in I let it dry on crumpled up foil to give a natural look. Once dry, they are colored with the petal and luster dusts. Mostly petal dusts. I hope that helps!

I also have more leaves and other fun gum paste items like blackberries in my profile! :)
