What a great idea!, can't wait to try it.
A beautiful idea. I will try this in tinted cements as backdrops to my mosaics on pots etc. Thank you!!!!
What a great idea!! Im gone try that for my thank you cards.
I agree with dgmendiola--we throw these parts away anyway. Make a nice salad with the leaves-- they're good for you and be creative at the same time... :)
What a stunning but simple idea! In Itlay we call it 'radicchio di Treviso and
I'll try to do this nice craft with paper, colours and vegetables...
Treviso radicchio is outrageously expensive! Try using a cheaper vegetable!!
We throw away these parts of our lettuces so why not use them and make someone happy:)

I actually used the end cut of celery and it took on the rose look as well. I took a heavy leaf (lemon, lime, orange etc.) and pressed it into my green stamp pad and then onto the stationary. It added to some of the empty spots after stamping the roses. It looked great, it also helped to wear thin rubber disposable gloves. Got lots of complements and saved lots of money! Thanks Martha!
What a great idea! I'll try this one.
We decided not to give each other store-bought cards this year,
but make ones themself instead. It should be fun!
I have used fresh brussel sprouts also. The leaves are so tightly pressed together, that I turned them on their side and rolled them out back and forth on a flat surface to help loosen them up a little.
I have used celery and lettuce. They both worked great and were very pretty. I did it in several different colors
Those are very pretty and I might try them out.
A brilliant idea! And there is no waste since the leaves can be eaten. Will give this a try.
Absolutely creative!!!!!! i love it
What a creative idea!! Very Cute!
