It's Springtime! CMM65

Hey, all you lovely cardmakers. How are we all on this fine Friday?

We here at CMM are shaking off the boots and coats and gearing up for all things SPRING. In particular, for this challenge we want to see:

SPRING COLORS

For this challenge we are being sponsored by Hobby Book Digital Stamps.

Hello, my name is Barbara and Hobbybook is my small business which is based on the internet. I am now an illustrator for the digital craft community, after trying my hand at many different crafts. When I was a child I had a natural flair for drawing, but as soon as responsibilities of being an adult came, I didn't seem to be able to find the time to draw.  Three years ago I picked up a pencil and drew a fairly basic christmas bear which I then turned into a digital stamp. From then on I've bought several more pencils and haven't stopped. I love to draw and bring an image to life with pro-markers, it still amazes me how from a basic outline a life like image can be created by adding shade and highlights. I look forward to see all your fabulous creations. Happy crafting! 

Time to see what the DT created...Show & Tell!

Vikki
