Looks great! I enjoyed watching the video and you make it look easy! Do you have to seal it when it's done or do the leaves in the paint do that at the same time?

Thanks! The petals stick to the wet paint, so once the paint drys they are stuck on there forever... So I don't really have to use the polyurethane but I just like the glossy look it gives afterwards. It also protects the dry leafs/petals from further deterioration over time. Since they are exposed to air they probably would change color or crack over time...
Cool!! It looks really pretty as it is!! I've seen leaves discolor like you said so was wondering about that!! My father in law used to do a lot of art with leaves but never did any kind of sealing. He would always say "I'll just make another one with prettier leaves". He was a shop teacher in the school system so he always liked making things! Thanks @dksart!!
