So what sets me off, what is 'like a red rag to a bull'...

this made me think of bullfighters, which made me think of the Paso Doble...tenuous link I know.

I used to be a dancer, for years and years. I love dancing. I hate to see it messed around with.

I love watching SCD on tv, but when they prance around instead of doing proper steps it really winds me up, also I hate,hate,hate the weeks when they use props. Len is the only judge worth listening to, and when he yells severrrrrn, it makes me laugh.

I break lots of rules in arting/crafting....but there are just some things in life that should be done properly, and Ballroom dancing is one of those things.


So , I covered my page with scrapbook paper, then painted over that with faux lumiere paints. I added some dimensional paint...and was then stuck while it dried...




















while waiting I drew and cut out a number '7'  and a couple of dancing silhouettes.



















I added my title and the front was done.



















on the back, I painted with faux lumieres..and white acrylic..




















next I added some torn scrapbook paper, the same as that used on the front...




















I painted over the edges of the torn paper, and then cut out and painted 2 feet. Adding more dimensional paint.



















Finally writing my journalling straight onto the feet.
