We're going 'Colourful' at TIOT

Oh! the colours around at this time of year! We may have grey days but the berries are really making a show at the moment, the shops are full of bright Christmas displays and the lights are shining everywhere, so it's no wonder we are in a 'Colourful' frame of mind at Try It On Tuesday for our latest challenge! 
The Design Team have as ever produced some lovely colourful examples, why not take a look here?
I have a journal page (which is also for my 101 Way to Keep Warm at Art Journal Journey)which was inspired by watching Strictly Come Dancing.
The Tango is one of the dances I love to watch! One of my favourite films 'Moulin Rouge' also has a Tango featured! Definitely a hot, colourful dance!!
My image is likely to be in Argentina, where the Tango originated.
I painted the background by  streaking PA Fresco paints, picking up the colours in the image and then added some stencilling, stamping and some painty circles using an old lid. 
I stuck down the image and then added more paint to integrate it into the page!
Once again I have added some of my own my lettering.

 These hot colours remind me of a warm Summer Evening but you may choose any combination of colours for your project - we love to see your entries! 
The TIOT challenge runs until 4th December - looking forward to seeing what you make!

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    My keyboard is still having a hissy fit and refuses to work much of the time. I would LOVE to leave you a personal message but it takes too long to write an appropriate one. I hope you are having a great day, I’ve seen your latest art, and wish you a happy ____________________ (fill in the blank).

    WOW Chris! Love your page! Brilliant take on our theme!
    I used to dance a lot ( my husband was a trained dancer) and now I miss it!
    My favourite dance was rumba- very sensual like tango argentina.
    Big hugs from

    Love it! Of course I had to go look for a video of the song, which I remember very well. It always makes me laugh.
