Coleus leaves are a real challenge, Becky. They're generally too water logged. You might try putting some muslin down on the paper, then the leaf, and then the tape. You'll also need to use a more absorbent type of paper. Even then, there probably won't much, if any, separation of colors on a multicolored leaf. And reds turn out black. As I said, quite a challenge! Sticking tongue out
