It seems that Sketch used to have "Vectorize Selection" in the bitmap editor but that function has been removed since version 40, according to the release note.

Try the old version which can be downloaded from here.

Manual tracing is something most people want to avoid as much as possible, especially for the lazy programmers like me, because it can be done by machines in most cases.

What I would do is - manually trace the leaf in Sketch (2 min), copy and rotate to achieve the effect (2 min), create the mask and apply to the image.



the end result
the mask, consisting of the leaves + a rectangle.
