Re: How to Print Flowers with Flowers

This technique is something that I learned about a while ago and it was called "Cherokee leaf printing". It doesn't require a kit to do it. Just a hammer, masking tape, and some cotton/muslin. I wrote about it on my blog: http://awaytome.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/cherokee-leaf-printing/

If you put a piece of scrapbooking paper underneath the muslin when you are hammering the flowers/leaves, you will get a pattern on the fabric and the paper. It looks really beautiful quilted and would be a good way to preserve the memory of the Valentine's Day flowers that you receive.
