I went to a local garden shop. I sometimes carry colored paper for backgrounds. I had my husband hold a piece of pink paper behind the flowers. This was originally a slide. I then printed it on Polaroid 809 film using a daylab with an 8X10 base and then let it set for at least 24 hours. Then I made the lift with watercolor paper as the receptor. Sometimes I trim right up to the image edge, but with this one, I did not. That is why the most outer part is more translucent gray.--Rene
