Hang in There

Our lovely, but aged neighbors are having some challenging times lately and the news from the hospital wasn’t very good for the husband. He has been unwell for a while and everyone hoped for a good outcome, but unfortunately it isn’t to be. They love getting cards from me as well as fresh baked scones from my hubby, so I made this one for them.

As a bonus it fits 3 challenges, so I shall be entering it at: Krafty Chicks Challenge #826 {Masculine}, (6/2026) Anything Goes with a Twist of PURPLE (twist not taken) and Challenge # 864 – Feather, Fur & Fin.

The dry embossed piece was a leftover from a previous project so I mounted it onto a scrap layer to give it a thin border. The card front was stamped with a new set from Hero Arts and was coloured with pencils. The monkey, bananas and branch are from a StampinUP set. I made the sentiment on the computer and die cut it with a Hero Arts infinity circle. All these were also coloured with pencils. The branch and monkey were popped up on foam tape and I used the curl in his tail to hang him from the branch. I also used some ink and a sponge to go around the circle edges.

It was a fun card to make and I shall deliver it tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you, your time and any comments you may leave.

  1. Sweet card and hopefully will lift your neighbors’ spirits. And I was pretty sure that the Can you Handle the Pressure challenge was made for your especially with the twist of Purple. LOL

  2. A lovely card and sentiment with an adorable monkey is certain to lighten the mood for your elderly neighbour along with Derek’s scones. Very thoughtful of you both. Very sad for the couple to receive this unfortunate news on her husband’s prognosis. Your card will cheer them up knowing they have your support. I do like the border of leaves and placement of the bananas too.
