I have found a new app for blogging from my android tablet. If anyone knows of any good ones I wish you would let me know. Any way I thought I would try to create a post.
I was asked to make a card for a certain boy turning 16, a drummer in a band and shecwanted his photo on. I only had the passport photo to work with. I had a drum stamp, a freebie yonks ago on creativestamper magazine. The front of the drum had "rock" on it where i wanted to put tge photo and the whole thing wasn't big enough.
I wasn't to be beaten though so furst job scan in the photo. Secondly I stamped tge image in black archival and scanned that in.
Next I opened up serif and added bith the pics. I took the photo cut out studio, outlined just his head tgen exported as a picture then brought that picture back into Serif so that I could resize without any background.
Next to the stamped pic. Firstly I made it bigger so I could see what I was doing. Again using cutout studio I cut out the whole of the front of the drum. Then I used the tool create a frame and dragged it into the frame section. I now had all the various elements so I cleared the workspace dragged on the newly created drum frame, I then added the photo into the frame and resized to fit.
I sized the whole thing to a size that would look right in the hexagon die.
Happy with it I printed out onto cardstock .
I used a blue glue pen on the chrone bits of the drum set and silver embossing powder. The drums and symbols were coloured with SN pencils.

I used a music embossing folder, some hexagon dies the hexagon shapes for the letterbox kit which I also used. I found a small happy birthday stamp and the numbers from another set of stamps.
