SUMMER OF COLOUR CHALLENGE - WEEK 9 ORANGE!

Kristin - thank you again for your fabulous Summer of Colour Challenge!  What fun I have had.  I apologize to everyone for not getting around as much last week and hardly at all this week!   I have a whole new set of blogs to follow and be inspired by.  I missed "yellow" and do hope to catch up on that.  While there is a week left of the challenge I am not sure that I will be participating so I want to say thank you to everyone now!  This is the first "real" journal that I have attempted and your feedback has been key to keeping me on track and working on my initial plan of creating backgrounds/pages for my Cuba journal.

This week I've used a small canvass as my focus, I purchased this at a studio in the Callejon de Hamel in Havana.  A project of Salvador Gonzales, sculptor and poet, this  two block area is where Afro-Cuban art, music and dance are given space within the community. This image is a familiar Santeria (the dominant religion) image.  

The background is a piece of Co'ordinations black/orange card stock,  I have sanded around the image to provide a simple frame and in the quiet area above.  The sacred heart is a metal image which I have done using the embossing techniques and supplies from Ten Seconds Studio.  The out most border is Spiced Marmalade Distress Crackle Paint.
