Today I have the honor of being an invited Guest Designer for the Songs and Lyrics challenge at The Outlawz. Every fortnight they choose a new set of lyrics to use as their challenge theme and the lyrics for today are from the old song "Anything Goes."
Song: Anything Goes
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking.
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose.
Anything goes.
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like,
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose.
When ev'ry night the set that's smart is in-
'Truding in nudist parties in
Studios.
Anything goes.

Yes, after all of that, all it means is that the theme is "Anything Goes" but I decided to try something that fit in with the lyrics. I found this digital image over at TLC Creations.
I printed out the image, enhancing the sepia tone with tools in Word, then cut the image with a die from Spellbinders. Once it was cut, I used Ivory and Vanilla ProMarkers to color the frame parts of the die cut, leaving the image itself in sepia.
I added a dark brown mat to it which had been embossed with my ScorPal and stylus to add a bit of texture. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up that well in the photo but if you look at the very top of the brown piece, you can see how close I put the score lines.
I printed the lyrics, cut out the first two lines and used those for the sentiment. The background piece is paper-thin cork and everything is mounted onto a light brown card base.
Challenges:
Almost half of your weekend is gone but you still have time to tuck away in the craft room and enjoy some time just for yourself. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
