How many of you had a pen pal when you were a youngster? I did; a girl about the same age I was who lived in Nebraska (I was in California.) When it came time for me to try completing a DT card for the new April challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies, sponsored by Gerda Steiner Designs, this adorable little "Pen Pal Bear" brought back memories of my own pen pal.
I'm still doing CAS designs because of how long it takes to me make a card (especially if it includes coloring. Reminder to self - never discount the after-effects of Covid!) but this darling bear is so cute, it can clearly stand alone. :-D
I was inspired by the sketch at My Favorite Things,
turned to fit the image shape.

Fab bear card! Thanks for joining us at Passion for Markers this week, good luck! Julie
I had a pen pal! We had a school program that linked up kids the same age around the world, so mine lived in another country, which was very exciting! Gosh, I'm so sorry you're still battling the effects of this evil curse!
Your card is utterly adorable! Wonderful colour combo and a super design, which doesn't feel clean and simple at all. Thanks for sharing this with us at Penny's!

Lovely card NC. I'm happy that you are realising your limitations at the moment and working within them - and still producing lovely cards. You're right about the image being the sort of image that doesn't need embellishment.
So beautiful! Thank you for joining our Penny's challenges.
Wonderful creation!!
Thanks for playing at I Love Promarkers Challenge.
