Hello friends! I'm so super excited to share with you the newest Wild Whisper collection - Strong & Free! It is an amazing collection of patriotic papers just perfect for any Canada Day projects - but just wait!! Even if you're not Canadian - you've just gotta have these gorgeous papers!! They coordinate beautifully with all the other collections and the colours and designs would be perfect to go with any outdoor themed project. And the stamps.... to die for! Be sure to check out the full collection at the Wild Whisper shop. Here's my project that I'm sharing on the Wild Whisper blog today. I created three projects - a banner, a frame and a decorated flower vase- to decorate my mantle for Canada Day. They are so beautiful that I'm definitely going to be leaving them up for a lot longer though!
Here's the link to the process video showing you all the fun I had creating!
To
qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your
project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.
For my project I made a card to celebrate Canada Day! I used my Cricut Explore and the write feature to draw out the fireworks from the Stand and Salute Cricut cartridge with the Silver Cricut pen. I used the gold Wink of Stella pen to colour in the fireworks for some extra sparkle.
This cute elephant image is from Bugaboo Stamps - Edward Canada. I printed him on white cardstock and coloured him in with Prismacolor and Hobby Colour markers, which are alcohol based and also added some Wink of Stella pens in silver and gold. These pretty sequins are from one of the 28 Lilac Lane collections!
The Oh Canada was cut from the Summer Celebrations cartridge and the Polaroid from the Brooklyn Iron On cartridge. I love how it is just the Polaroid outline and shows the fireworks from behind!
Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you enjoy a wonderful week and are getting some special plans together for Canada Day or Independence Day. Be sure to head over to the Fantabulous Cricut Blog to see what all the other Design Team members have come up with and enter your own Patriotic project for a chance to win!
