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.
