Cricut Vinyl Floral Wall Art

I did a series of floral illustrations a while back and thought it would look nice as wall art.

I love the look of foil on paper and wanted to create the same effect using my Cricut.

I know they have those new foil quill pins but it looks like it only drew single lines and it was kind of complicated setup, not to mention it wasn’t cheap.

Fortunately, I already had some metallic vinyl so I just used that instead.

I vectorized my illustration using Vector Magic (my favorite service to turn anything into an SVG cut file). Then I just cut the image on vinyl. It was super easy!

Tutorial for Making Vinyl Wall Art
