Leaf with Stars

Rubbish weather yesterday, so a little more tabletop photography. A fallen leaf from the garden, a hole-punch and a piece of white card. I think it worked out quite well.

This is a little bigger than life size if you view large, so possibly qualifies as macro, but definitely close up.

I got the idea to use a hole punch when I saw a shop selling "eco-friendly" confetti, which was using a similar method to get the shapes from flower petals and green leaves, but drying them and making confetti from the shapes.

What a beautiful and creative picture Keith. Interesting to read where the inspiration came from, that's clever! In mono and on white card, it is perfect! I have never seen a star hole punch, but I expect my granddaughter has one in her many craft kits!

A superb shot! Have a good weekend Keith.

I'm pleased you think so Rosa...............I've been meaning to take this for a while now but have only just got around to it. We have acquired half a dozen different shaped punches but the stars were the only ones that fitted on the leaf. Thank for stopping by and commenting as always.
