I needed a masculine card today, so I just jumped right in to the Gerda Steiner Monthly Challenge with this cute bear. And of course I had to use my "Lewis Family Vacation" paper pack for the patterned paper in the background. This is one of my newest patterned paper packs that I bought a couple of months ago at Hobby Lobby. I hope it's OK that I totally added a whole extra element over the top of the sketch with the bear, but he was going to be too small if it fit him into or as one of the circles. I think the sketch makes a great background for him.
Paper: The Paper Studio Lewis Family Vacation Paper Pack, Neenah Exact Index
Ink: Spectrum Noir and Copic Markers
Accessories: Spellbinders Card Creator A and B dies, Darice Circle dies, Simon Says Stamp stitched circle dies, Brother ScanNCut, computer generated sentiment using DK Cool Crayon font from fontspace.com, Black Enamel Accents, white gel pen

Jennifer this is just the cutest masculine card and the papers are wonderful. Great use of the sketch. You should totally add this to the Ways to Use It challenge we are doing DPs on our cards today.

Yup, I have that same Lewis Family Vacation paper pack that I also got at Hobby Lobby. Great use of the papers. Love the look on that little bears face. Adorable.
