Good morning everyone. 

This is my DT card for Friday Sketch Challenge, this challenge we are being sponsored by:

Here's a little information about her:

"Hi, my name is Gerda Steiner.

First of all I'm a mom of 3 little boys (5,3 and 1),that make me oh so happy, humble and grateful. But at night, I turn into a doodler and illustrator and I love to create characters, that make people smile or even giggle. I'm originally from Germany and moved with my american husband (who I met 10 years ago in Germany) to California.

My first illustrations were published as greeting cards for greetingcarduniverse.com and zazzle and at some point I got questions about providing certain designs as digital stamps. And there we are! Creating Designs as digital stamps is just such a blessing, because the feedback is amazing. I always love to see your projects, and read your ideas and stories. You can also find a progressive challenge on my site. www.gerdasteinerdesigns.com"

Gerda is offering 3 digi stamps to the lucky winner!!
