As I sprayed the edges of each leaf all the way around I was pushing them flat to try to achieve a crisper edge especially on the big leaf as it had the most underneath it. Once the top layer was sprayed I took a purple marker and sprayed the edges of the largest leaf.  I used the very thin stem to create a pattern on all the white space.  Lastly I tried my hand at hammering the leaves to see if they would leave a pattern.  Well, they did at the bottom of the page you will notice some green marks but not quite the result I was looking for. You can barely make out the green (not painted) leaves.  The green came from the leaf itself on the final pictures.
 Then it was time to put it all together.  I cut my paper into four pieces.  I backed them up onto black cardstock to give them each a framed look.  Before mounting onto the cardstock I used distress stain on the white edges after cutting to eliminate the white core of the paper.  With each of my four pieces ready to tape (double sided tape) I arranged them onto a cardboard backing and inserted that into my frame.  I put all of my pieces of frame back together and that's it! Wall Art!.
Reducing landfill garbage, Reusing and recycling the frame!

A bit hard to photograph as it is glass but I love it!!
