I used TH tattered Leaves die to cut the leaves from an A4 DP from chocolate Baroque
I
ran the sewing/marker wheel along the leaves. This makes the paper bend
and crunch which all helps to the look of an a Autumn leaf. I find the
50p Ikea mouse mat ideal when using the marker wheel
I
mark out the holes first with a fine liner, its not always necessary to
do this but I think it gives a better look I then join up the dots.
Don't worry if you miss a bit it all works out OK in the end.
Once
this is done I shaded the leaves with TH DI's until I had the desired
effect, this also adds to the crinkled look as the points girl in etc....ha ha curl even!
I also shade the reverse
I hope you find this technique helpful and you are able to use it tecnique on your projects. Suzi B

And I thought you'd actually stitched the leaves!! Thanks for sharing that technique though - very handy and much easier than trying to control those leaves in the machine.
Thanks for sharing how you made your leaves I realy loved them on your card. Hugs x ChrisB
Thanks for sharing Sue - your leaves are beautiful! Vicky x
Thanks for this Sue. Fabulous idea to use the sewing marker wheel. I put mine from my sewing days in with my craft stuff thinking it might come in handy and promptly forgot all about it. Thanks so much for this tip. Your leaves are very effective.
