Find the biggest leaf you can, ones that are still green will work the best, paint  with fun colors, glitter paint etc. Next press on to white card stock and make as many prints as you want.

There are so many fun things to do with leaves! 1.Watercolor resist leaf painting. I like this new technique with colored crayon rather than the old way of using only white crayons, using colored crayons gives to a whole new look perfect for creating beautiful leaves! 2. Leaf Sun Catcher Find some amazing leaves and smoosh them onto contact paper and cover with another piece of contact paper. Hold it up to the sun to see the details in the leaf veining or place on a light table. 3. Marble Painting  This technique is so fun and you get a new design every time no two leaves will every be exactly the same. 4. Leaf Painting The leaf is your canvas! Glitter paint, unusual colors, anything goes, create it and make it your own.

Leaf art using jumbo ink pads.
