Penny Black Tulip Truck

Hello! Today I am sharing a card I crafted using Penny Black die sets, which was inspired by a hooked wool pillow I saw in the window of a local store (image courtesy of Mud Pie).

Penny Black Tulip Truck

  • I began by die-cutting and assembling the #51-571 Vintage Truck. I backed the window with a lighter blue cardstock.
  • I cut the tulips with the  #51-043 Dainty die from green and two shades of pink. I trimmed the tulip blooms and attached them to the stems.
  • I die-cut the sentiment with the #51-040 Hello Frame set.

  • The Balloons die set includes two balloon sizes. I cut both sizes from bright-colored cardstock (the green and orange balloons were cut with the smaller die, the pink and yellow with the bigger one).
  • I arranged the balloons in an overlapping fashion. I adhered the arrangement to the base and trimmed the panel.
  • I cut the Happy Birthday sentiment three times from white cardstock for extra depth.
