This card was originally inspired by Try Stamping on Tuesday Sketch #225, and you'll see the shape of the sketch evolved as I was putting the card together. I wanted to use the bunny image from Life's a Beach, so I paired him with papers from the Paradise Beach collection. I picked the paper with waves at the bottom and since it had a rounded design on it, I decided to do a round panel instead of a rectangle one to complement the paper. I thought the bunny lying on the beach would make for a great retirement card, so I stamped a sentiment that reads, "A well-deserved retirement" following the shape on the rounded panel on top. Since the sentiment was on top, I flipped the accent (the star) at the bottom to keep the balance. I also used my fringe scissors to add a green fringe to the main image.
