Thoughts of Hope – Penny Black Flowers

Hello! Today I am sharing a card created with Penny Black supplies spreading the message of hope in these uncertain times. Crafting keeps me grounded these days.

Thoughts of Hope - Penny Black Flowers

  • I added Tumbled Glass ink to the center of a white cardstock card base.
  • I stamped an inspiring sentiment from the #30-703 Blooming Sentiments set in black ink.
  • I cut the flowers, foliage, shelf, watering can, tools, and butterfly with the #51-635 Buckets of Flowers, #51-510 A Garden, and the #51-610 Hydrangea die sets.
  • I glued the items to the shelf and the assembly to the panel. The butterfly was added to the scene with foam adhesive.

  • Using the #51-596 Bird and Branch set, I cut the chicks from bright cardstock – SU Tempting Turquoise (now retired), SU Pineapple Punch, and Taylored Expressions Lollipop. I adhered their eyes and beaks.
  • I used the #51-630 Rolling Hills and #51-623 Pretty Picket sets to create a background for the scene.
  • I die-cut the sentiment using the #51-040 Hello Frame die.
  • I embellished the scene with butterflies cut with one of the butterfly dies in the #51-132 Flights of Fancy 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.
