I flipped through the book Encaustic Workshop: Artistic Techniques for Working with Wax and saw this page featuring these leaf skeletons and I happen to have a pack of them.
I know this book is all about encaustic but some of the ideas work for decoupage which is what I did with some Plaid Extreme Glitter Paint.

I have a few other books that will have a "window of opportunity" soon!

In its purest form, encaustic painting is as simple as applying melted beeswax to an absorbent surface. In Encaustic Workshop, it becomes much more: a dynamic medium where anything goes and the possibilities are endless.
Packed with step-by-step techniques, helpful tips and diverse examples of completed works, Encaustic Workshop brings all the accessibility and excitement of a mixed-media workshop to your own workspace. If you're a beginner, you'll find everything you need to know to get started. If you're a more advanced crafter or fine artist, you'll discover things you never knew you could do with encaustic.
Instructions and photos will guide you as you learn to:
- Apply, layer, color and carve wax to create artwork rich with texture and depth.
- Create collages that combine encaustic with papers, fabric, found objects, image transfers and more.
- Experiment with charcoal, inks, watercolors, pastels and other mediums to create unexpected effects in the wax.
Sign your creativity up for this Encaustic Workshop - then just melt, paint and play!
