uptown zodiac girls continued: Gemini

 hi everyone.

back again with the latest completed card from the bella zodiac girls and today it's star sign Gemini.

i really was so pleased with the colouring of this one until i added my distress glaze right at the end and some how the glaze picked up some of the walnut stain i have used for the background, i was gutted but on the plus side it was a learning experience with a note to self: not to use such a dark colour next to such a light colour..

my image has been coloured with distress ink and around the edges of the panel i have used one of my stempleglede stamps using tumbled glass and walnut stain, and i've added a button embellishment along with the birthday wishes.
