Drone Birthday Card

Hello Crafters,

In this post I'm sharing a birthday card I made for my nephew who's into flying drones.   Whenever I can I try to personalize my cards by incorporating something that person is into or likes. 

Since I could find a drone image in the Silhouette Design Store or any other companies I purchase SVG files from or stamps from so I searched Google Images and found a couple that looked like they would be easy to trace using the tracing feature in the Silhouette Studio Design software.  After I got it traced and cropped to my satisfaction I printed it out on my printer using the registration marks and then cut it out on my Silhouette Cameo.  

Of course the drone had to look like it was flying to the air so I broke out my Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks to make the background night sky and of course my night sky need a city skyline so I turned to the Tim Holtz Cityscapes stamps that I recently bought.   I used black square pop dots from my stash stacked 3 high to make the drone pop off the card.  The sentiment is also pupped up with black square pop dots but I only used one.   

In person, the drone looks like it's flying towards you carrying the birthday sentiment from the city. 

Bonus was when I gave this card to my nephew he said that this was the first drone he ever purchased.  Totally amazing since I didn't know that and of all the drone images I searched through I happened to pick the one that was his very first drone.

Thanks for stopping by.  
I hope my card inspired you to use multiple different craft elements into your projects.

Happy Crafting!
