IBSIC #14

Hi scrappy peeps! It's another wonderful wednesday here in the beautiful hawaiian islands and you know what that means... it's time for another card for the IBSIC! This week Joanna is giving away some lovely stamps as some blog candy, so super sweet of her!

I finally received all my of stamps from this months release and I was so super duper excited to start inking them up! This month Joanna released two GORGEOUS background stamp sets and omg, I just HAD to use them on my card. Hard to believe that with all the background stamp sets I own, I have never actually inked any of them up. I was actually really surprised at how easy it was. I just followed the super talented, Kendra Sand's tutorial which can be found here. If you haven't tried it before, you should definitely check out Kendra's tutorial and give it a try. It's awesome for creating your own design paper when you just don't have that perfect color.

Here is this week's sketch:

I used several different IBS stamp sets, Background Basics I, Vintage Backgrounds (my favorite!), Fancy Labels 18, and Birthday Wishes. I am honestly so, SUPER in love with my IBS stamps! I swear, if I didn't know any better I'd think that Joanna was designing stamps just for me! (hehe!)
