FTHS August Stamp of the Month + sketch 77

For today's card I combined the free stamp of the month August stamp by From the Heart Stamps with their current sketch challenge.

I printed the image onto Neenah Solar white cardstock and coloured it using Derwent Coloursoft pencils and then blended the colours with odourless mineral spirits and a paper stump. The papers are from the So Sofie 6 x 6 paper pad by My Mind's Eye. The buttons, twine and pearls are from my stash.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:

FTHS - Free stamp of the month Augus

FTHS - Sketch 077

Simon Says Stamp - Anything goes
Totally Gorjuss - 251 Pearls
Top Tip Tuesday - Anything goes

Wax seals - SAF 2014

Here's the card I made with the wax seal I created from the PTI SAF kit. In fact, all supplies were included in the kit, except for the ribbon and the gold embossing powder. By now it will be too late to link it up for the Renaissance challenge, but I sure had fun creating all these cards. Plus I've added more cards to my pile of birthday cards, which is a good thing LOL.

Velvet stamping - SAF 2014

Here's my card for the Renaissance challenge of PTI's Stamp-a-faire, using the supplies from the kit.
