Floating leaf without water? That's my main question. I loved this leaf when I saw it floating, and I had to have the image, but then I didn't know what to do with it because of the unappealing appearance of the pond water and the miscellaneous algae, etc., around it. Then in doing the frosted leaves I realized I could do the same thing with this one. But that leaves a floating leaf without water, so I would love feedback on whether that works at all, and on anything else. Thank you very much!
