Looking round my craft room, I knew I wanted to create, but had no idea what. I decided the first stamp that I see on my shelf I would use. It happened to be this little Deep Red cling stamp called "Drum Set (SKU 3X404216), which I paired with a couple of tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous layering stencils.
I stamped the drum set and the Simon Says Stamp "Tiny Words" sentiment in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.
The two Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous stencils I used were THMM178 which was part of a Christmas stamp and stencil set and THS103 "String Layering Stencil" which I used with two shades of Ranger Archival Inks "Sky Blue" for the string layering stencil and "Peat Moss" through the dots section of the Christmas stencil.
I painted the drum set using different shades of Distress Oxide Inks, adding some pencil and black fine liner pen for the shadows.
What a great idea to employ when stumped for something to make Sam, and the drum kit with just a little grey on the drum and yellow on the cymbal is a lovely image, and the background string and accompanying dots stencilling fading out are both perfect not to overpower the drum set, and I love the small simple 'Happy Birthday' as a finishing touch. x
