Painter Teddy Bear Card: I Miss You, Painted Bright

Painter Teddy Bear Card shows I MISS YOU in rainbow letters, with a bear in a beret and a palette in hand, and those three simple words say what you feel in a way that makes the reader smile. The bright lettering and the cheerful bear make it easy to share a little longing without sounding sad. It was made for the person who likes a warm, slightly silly way of saying they are missed.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

Artwork and lettering

A honey-colored teddy bear stands at the center of the card, wearing a black beret with a yellow and pink fleck on it. His light blue smock has big buttons down the front and is splashed with red, pink and green paint. He holds a long wooden paintbrush in one paw and a wooden palette with blobs of color in the other. At his feet, a green puddle spreads across the paper and two paint tubes lie on their sides. The words I MISS YOU stretch across the top in bold, multicolored capitals, each letter a different shade. Together the bear, the tools and the lettering build a cheerful picture of an artist who has been busy, and the card turns missing someone into something bright.

Made for this crowd

The people who will feel this card most are those who have someone far away, whether that is a partner, a close friend or a relative. They notice the artist bear first and then read the colorful words, and the small joke of a painter who is making a mess lands with them. It works for someone who laughs at a gentle, playful sentiment instead of a sad one. You can send it to someone you see often but miss during a busy week, too.

Moments it suits

This card fits well when someone is away on a trip, starting a new job in another city, or spending time at a distance from home. It is also a sweet choice for a note tucked into a lunch bag or sent in the mail just to say you are thinking of them. Keep it on a desk or fridge until you reunite, and let the bear remind you of the next visit.
