Poinsettia, Are they leaves or flower petals?

Do you know the answer?

They are leaves not petals.

I'm looking at all my rubber stamps and have many favorites.

There are few that can no longer be bought as the business is closed.  Sad.

I decided to decorate the envelope too.

This Poinsettia stamp is one of my favorites.

It's easy to stamp, color and cut out.

The Mini Woven stencil was used in white and green.

With such a large stamp the background doesn't need to be to busy.

My First Very Textured Piece

Hi Everyone.

I'm trying my hand at very textured pieces of art.

 

Not sure I like this one.

You may have seen his one on Google+ but I haven't posted it here yet.

 

I like to post things I've done whether I like them or not.

This one is 10x10 cradled wood.

I used modeling paste and acrylic inks by Liquitex.

 

It was fun but I think I want to do more layers of colors.

Maybe sand some surfaces...experiment.

 

 

Some close ups.

Love the colors but need more layers of colors.

 

I used a few number stickers.

 

 

What do you think?

Something you would like to try?

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
