Smash Your Stash Time

 Morning and as it's the last Saturday of the month time for the Smash Your Stash journal page challenge with my blogging friend Vicki of Stamped Smiles so please check out her blog too as she always has a brilliant take on the themes.

This month the prompt is---Imprint (Use a gel plate/print machine/leaves )

I went with the leaves as I don't have a gel plate. The background was made with watercolour and painted onto the leaves,then I used oxide ink on a couple of different leaves.Couldn't find a suitable sentiment and no printer was struggling till I found this craft mag freebie from years ago in a little tub.
