Picture Modelling

Hello Everyone,

It is a very snowy situation where I am. And a picture my friend posted on Facebook gave me inspiration. It won’t to model a leaf. I want to know how to put an image in blender so that I can model the leaf off of the picture.

Thank you. I’ll post my results here for critique after I have an acceptable scene.
