BVCG Galleria Sept 2024 - I Walk The Line

Our Galleria topic for Sept 2024 is Lyrics (we had that topic 2 years ago so I can't use the same lyrics... which were "He Wore Black Denim Trousers"). This one was done by Johnny Cash.
On 12 x 12 scrapbook cardstock I applied Pan Pastels to the upper half of the cardstock (red, violet and gold/copper with a dry baby wipe). Used an eraser to create my letters. Added a white Gelly Roll gel pen highlight to each letter. Created the rest of the text with the gel pen in various funky styles going this way and that...

words:
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open ll the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day's through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

Neuland Thanks - Dry Embossing

I find dry embossing very hard to get the results I want... it never comes out as pronounced as I would like. I'll keep trying. I guess I should try on art paper instead of regular cardstock... but thanks Sue Greenseth for a wonderful Neuland and embossing class.

Created my embossing template from regular cardstock. adhered a piece of thin paper like tracing paper to the good side, adhering drop out pieces like in the "A" and gluing down the pointy contours to prevent them from deteriorating while embossing.

On blue Recollections cardstock embossed the word "thanks" then using a cotton ball applied Pan Pastels all over. Rubbed a clean cotton ball to remove the pastels from the high points then adhered to a card base.

I turned them into cards...

Scribbled Lives 2022 - Wk 41 - Folk Music - Blowin In The Wind

I've always loved this song... so it was the first thought in my head... not that my head holds a lot... and I haven't done anything in a circle in quite a while... this one isn't a spiral but just circles upon circles. A little different from my "usual".
