Miss-Nance, If you want individual leaves,I would put down some green organza, ssparsely sprinkle scaps over it, cover with solvi,put it in a hoop then stitch over it first in the shape of leaves, do this a few times to create a firm edge. then more stitches inside the leaves, making sure all the scraps are covered. Wash off the Solvi, and you should have some lovely leaves. If you just want a vague tree in the background follow the same procedure, but instead of outlining the leaves ,outline the total shape and do lots of squiggles over it. Good luck Margaret
