Valentine Salsa

Do you like making collage cards?  There are a lot of different types of collages, but my favorites are when I can take a bunch of unrelated images and make a scene with them.  When I was making this card I jokingly called it "Sally spices up a Tuesday night".  Yeah, I crack myself up.  


The entire That's Class collage has become one of my favorites.  Beautiful ladies and dapper men make great additions to any scene.  The attitude of this lovely lady is fabulous...with her nose in the air as she dances her spicy salsa moves.  In the original picture, I thought the handsome man she was dancing for looked like he was unimpressed so I decided to give her a better audience. 
The gentleman in my scene was having a discussion with another fellow.  I cut that conversation short and cut the other guy out of the photo.   I snipped around his fingers to cut off the gloves he was holding and also to allow him to appear holding the roses.


This little romantic dance was built on an old piece of sheet music, which sets the scene perfectly.  Some of the sheet music from Altered Pages is old so you may have to handle it more carefully than you would scrapbook paper.  It's worth the extra care!  I used the double sided tape instead of the glue stick to avoid the risk of tearing the paper.  The sentiment "Be my Valentine" from the Valentine Glass Slides sheet tops it off.

Supplies:

Is it me, or does this guy from That's Class look like a young Kenneth Branaugh?

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
