Hi everyone. It's time for another new challenge at Try It on Tuesday
Before I get to that, thank you everyone who joined our Oh What A Night challenge. Those of you who joined in shared some fantastic night art. ❤
With Valentine's Day not too far off, our newest challenge is ROMANCE.
I made a journal page using some cut out images from a Ciao Bella paper pad (Tango), a punch out piano from Stamperia's Music themed release, as well as some bit of printed tissue, a scrap of red ric-rac trim and a white paper frame. The background is a sheet of printed paper also from Ciao Bell'as Tango set that I added a few gesso painted dots to. Finally I used some old clear stamps to stamp the word and the XOXO, and I added some half pearls.
I'm not sure a piano would be the main instrument for a tango or tango type of dance, but I like how this one looked. Plus it works with the bit of keyboard in the bottom right image.
Be sure to check out the design teams art pieces too. There are so many ways you can go with this challenge. 👍❤ As always, it will be fun to see what people come up with.
I am also linking this page up to Vicki's "music" theme challenge at Art Journal Journey.

Such a beautiful page! I love the tango dancers and the musical elements - so romantic 😊. Thanks for the inspiration and Happy February ❤️. Hugs, Jo x
I love two tango dancers...always find tango very sexy.
Do the red roses stand for love? They are very beautiful
...can you tango?
Wow! Those images scream romance. Nothing romantic about the storm for Thursday. Stay warm!
Beautiful page!
This is a wonderful page -- the perfect tango!
Oh my Erika! This is definitely hot romance! I love all of the music elements you used! Hugs, Chrisx
Ohhhhh I love this page. The colors are so rich.
This is a lovely page, love the dancers, the roses, everything about it :)
All the best Jan
It´s a wonderful composition! Ahhh, to be that young again (?or... rather not?)... Hugs and to a romantic day
wonderful romantic scene and all the themes in it! Fabulous this idea, I love it. Hugs Elke
Just gorgeous Erika! Love that paper, your background and I think the piano is just perfect for these tangoing pair! Just brilliant! ((HUGS)) Helen
Such a nice page. I would definitely have used the piano, especially if I were using those keys too. I think a small musical ensemble usually plays during a traditional tango and a piano would for sure be included. You might see a flamenco guitarist doing a solo but not many of those around, and many more pianists, lol. XOX
Oh wow this is fantastic Erika! I love the couple dancing in tune of the piano music playing that romantic melody! I especially love all of the red coloring and the lovely background design! You've done such a great job with both challenges my friend! Thanks for sharing your inspiration with my music theme at AJJ!! HUGS
I LOVE your gorgeous romantic page, Erika! The colors are striking and your scene is absolutely amazing. I love everything about it, especially the dancing couple and the stunning piano! Hope you are doing well and not too cold in New Hampshire! Hugs, Sharon
The dance I most look forward to seeing is the Argentine Tango - the flicks fascinate me and I wonder how they do not catch one another and topple over.
This picture is everything I like, the two dancers and the piano which is one of the most beautiful I have seen, the keyboard, xoxo and the red of the ric rac and rose all add to the beauty of this page. I must say it is one of my favourites of all time.
Hugs, Neet xx
Another fabulous page, Erika! Thank you for entering again our challenge at Art Journal Journey.
