Time for another Silhouette Challenges. I do hope you'll show us what you can do. I'm anxious to see everyone's entry.
Our grandson, Elias, turns 5 in August and I've been thinking about what to make him for a card for his birthday. He is all boy and loves to play knights, vanquishing the foe and all that so I thought a Spartan Hat card would be fun to make.
It was a little bit of a challenge but I think what I ended up with looks pretty cool and hopefully the 5 year old will too. They really go for the presents the most but with Nana being a card maker I have to make a cool card to go with the gift.
To make this card I found a spartan helmet outline on the internet, brought it into my Silhouette and traced it. Then mirrored it and connected it at the top to make a card. Then I offset it and cut out just the front part from black to make a black edge around which really made it stand out. The top portion is cut from printable foil and I added some sparkle by using glitter glue.
Inside I added an oval of printable foil with "Happy Birthday to our young Spartan" on it.
