Baby Bear Get Well card - complete with sling

With my son about to have his second shoulder reconstruction, I need a cheery card to brighten up his hospital room.

A masculine Get Well card for a young man having shoulder surgery

At 26, he may seem too old for Baby Bear, but he's still my baby!  And, the truth is, I could figure how to put a sling on this image!

I trimmed around the bear, lopped off its arm and hand cut a sling

I first stamped Baby Bear in Crumb Cake and Soft Suede ink and then did a little surgery of my own!  You have to be cruel to be kind sometimes - so I lopped off his arm!

The next step was to create a little bit of paw to stick out of the sling

 It was easy to design and cut the sling .  Then, I cut a little bit from the arm to create the tip of a paw and glued it behind the sling.

The bear is almost complete.  Next step is to attach the sling to the body.

I cut a strap, narrower at the neck and slightly curved, glued it to the bear and then added the sling.

The finished card!  A, post surgery, Baby Bear complete with sling

Thank you for visiting.

'Til next time!
