Tango

Scrap Africa Sketch Challenge # 18

For this challenge I used these photos I found on Deviant Art...Learning to dance the Tango must be one of my ultimate dreams...Such a sensual dance, and if I can not learn to dance it myself, I would love to sit at a street café in Buenos Aires and watch loved ones dance the Dance of Love...

I used papers from the Timeless Amour Collection from Heartfelt Creations. I flipped and rotated the sketch. I used various techniques on the back ground paper...you will see stencilling, masking, stamping and embossing on it.

This is a Prima Swirl...so sweet with the little Gray Roses amongst the pearls.

Here I layered strips of paper with Tim Holtz Tissue Tape.

I started by stencilling with a mask and Donna Salazar's Mix'd Media Inx: Adobe. The misting was done with Lindy's Stampgang Mists: Clam Bake Beige and Glory of the Seas Gold. I randomly embossed areas with Stampendous Aged Ivory embossing Enamel. I used some bubble wrap to add my texture paint. The stamp is from Prima.

I placed two Tim Holtz Alterations Pediments die cuts back to back to form my corner element...with some Tissue Tape in the middle and a little piece of the swirl...

This is the sketch to follow.

Socrates learned to dance when he was seventy

 because he felt that an essential part of himself had been neglected.
