Canada Day Card

Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends and honorary Canadian's!  I love this wonderful Nation I live in and for everything we are and our heritage! I was born in PEI, the "Birthplace" of Canada but now live in New Brunswick.
I wanted to create a very simple Canada Day card using the Go Canada Cricut Cartridge.  This is what I came up with.  I didn't have any cloud background so I just used some white Colorbox ink and blended it in slightly into the light blue cardstock to give that clear blue sky day feel!




Materials Used:
Go Canada Cricut Cartridge by Provocraft (p. 22 cut at 3 1/2")
Cardstock by Recollections from my scraps
White Colorbox Ink
Memento Tuxedo Black ink for sentiment
Sentiments by Studio G ($ bin at Michaels)
Dimensionals
Red Baker's Twine
Red Stickles
Red Button

Challenges
Totally Stampalicious-Red & White

  8. Oh I love this play on the patriotic challenge!! I have never been to Canada, but would love to come and visit your beautiful country some day. We watch a lot of RFDtv and most of the farming shows are in your country. Your card is awesome, I so love the cloudy background and how you did it-looks fabulous, I also love the flag you made for the front of your card. The inside goods great too and I knew how you were cutting your card to open. lol Thanks for joining us at BBTB2 ;-)
