    Ohhh! I have been considering getting a simple die cut machine for a while but wasn’t sure I would use it enough to make it worth while. You just took me past the tipping point! I LOVE these prints and can just see a journal made of these prints! And so simple and clever! Awesome!

    It works on fabric with a hammer, natural fabric is best :)

    Ohhhh! This is clever Ger! I would like to give this a go. I love the idea of eco dyed paper but I can't be bothering with 3 hours of boiling with added rust etc. I will have to have nosy round the garden before we start getting frosts. Thanks for sharing 💗

    Wow! You got some really great results, Ger! Much better than my feeble attempt last year! I need to go plant scrumping as we don’t have much now. I definitely couldn’t be bothered with the boiling method. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Dee xxx

    What a great idea! I suppose if you don't have one of those cool contraptions, you could use a rolling pin!

    That is a dinky little die cutting machine you have there. Still does the job, I tried this a few weeks ago using cyclamen flowers. Brilliant results. Wonderful method. I love the way the juice out of the flower squirts out and creates a sort of watercolour effect. Thanks for sharing.

    Saacibo on UA-cam has a easy way to keep the color using alum water. Love this idea and eco printing is fun.

    Great idea dear and they look gorgeous, 😍 does the print last after a couple of months? I died my papers with beat they were gorgeous pink after few months they changed to be pale as avocado dye color, but lighter

    Beautiful. I have 2 questions. This press machine comes from where? How long the colours doesn't change? Thank You.

      Thank you Christina. You can buy die cutting/embossing machines online and from any craft shop that sells Papercrafting items. If you Google die cutting machines lots of options will pop up

    Will they fade if you coat them with mod podge?

      As I don’t use modge podge I’ve got no idea.
