Aged Paper Leaves Tutorial and Template

by Tammy@Deja Vue Designs

I love fall decor. I went shopping this last week, to check out the fall accessories. I nearly fell over at some of the prices. I sat down and decided to just make some fall decor of my own. I needed some paper leaves for several of my projects. Sometimes you don't just want ordinary paper...sometimes it needs to be aged. Today I shared my aging technique on LCI...and have some leaf templates for those of y'all that don't want to draw your own leaves.

Exactly. I have some upcoming "fall" projects...and I've shown everyone how to do this...so they can get leaves made up for the projects.
