uptown zodiac girls continued, Taurus

 good morning crafters and welcome to my share for today.

continuing on with the bella zodiac girls and today i have taurus. 

for my card i have dug out one of my older stamps to create the background

(you know the ones you forget that you have hid in your stash).

distress ink is my colouring medium again, i just love the effect on the image when it's all dried.

freshly coloured
