WT297 Brown Poinsettia?

Photo Details

Poster: Mrs Noofy

It didn't start out to be brown but I got carried away with all the distressing and it just kept getting darker and darker! LOL These lovely stamps are from DRS Designs. I had never used them before but I really like the simplicity of this poinsettia. The background is cuttlebug and the rusty mat is some recycled gift wrap. I used my prismacolour pencils and odorless thinner to colour the flower. Thanks for looking.

I too like all that gold thread, and the lovely soft muted colours.
