Sneak Peek & IBSIC #28 Cards

Are you ready for a new IBSIC sketch this week? The ladies and our talented guest designer have created some gorgeous cards. Here is the sketch…

This week we have a masculine sketch for you to try. Please don’t feel that you have to create the dreaded man card this week. This sketch is just to get you creativity a flowin!

Before we get to my cards…over the next few days I will be sharing with you a couple sneak peeks for next month. We will be releasing two new 4x4 stamp sets on October 1st. I just can’t wait to share with you all the details but I have to keep it a secret until the 1st! I will just say, it will be a huge month for IBS as we celebrate our 1 year anniversary!!!

Inspired by this weeks masculine sketch, I created this card featuring browns, greens and creams throughout. I showed my card to my hubby today and all I got was a hmmp. I guess that means in guy terms, good???

Happy Birthday sentiment is a sneaky peek from the NEW Graceful Hydrangea. I also added these two images from the Ahoy, Matey! stamp set.

Here you can see the sentiment was cut out using a Spellbinder Label 22 die.

My second card features the NEW Graceful Hydrangea stamp set again in all its beauty. Both the hydrangea and sentiment will be available on Oct 1st.

Here is a close up of the sentiment stamped in brown ink.

And a close up of the hydrangea colored using Copic Markers.

I hope you join us this week over at IBSIC! We look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!

Stay tune for tomorrow! I have an exciting announcement to make! Hehe! I am full of announcements over the next few days! So exciting! I am bouncing off the walls!

OH nice work with the cards Joanna, your colouring is fantastic, I won't be able to do that at all!! That male card looks so neat and the colours are perfect.

Can't wait for all the sneak peeks!!!

Beautiful cards, Joanna! I love that gorgeous hydrangea flower!! So pretty!

[Deb Hickman]

Fabulous masculine card, how funny we both did masculine and neither of us do them very often. I love what you've done with the Hydranga stamp. Deb x

I rarely use my Labels 22 dies. Your beautiful cards (especially the stunning hydrangea one) have inspired me to dust them off :)

[Lynda S]

Oh wow. I am so v v glad I stumbled across your blog. Love both cards.

[Patricia Willey]

Your Copic coloring is amazing! That hydrangea looks so real! Beautiful stamp Joanna!

HaHa.... those dreaded men! These cards deserve much more than a hmmm & a hmmp ~ They're beautiful! It's always fun to hear of more exciting news from your crafty world.

STUNNING cards J!! Both are so pretty! Great colors used on each!! Great coloring of the hydrangeas!! Love them! Great work!

I love this masculine sketch and card.
Yes, I guess that hmmp... is good. Usually I'm not expecting more then that. If I get this hmmp, I know he, at least, realized I made something and I need some reaction ;) I love him.
