Inspiration: Retro Rubber Challenge #183 [I Love You(calyptus) stamp set was purchased when it came out about 3 years ago, maybe?]
I had put together a Flamingo Floatie using both metallic paper and sparkly paper after I came back home with the new Lawn Fawn release as I was curious to see how this one worked. I decided to include the metallic floatie on a card today and I based my design on an April 2022 Card Maps sketch. I used the Spring Fling patterned papers to create my layers.
When came time to find a critter to sit in the floater, I went looking through my Lawn Fawn stamps and I ended up liking the koala from I Love You(calyptus) the best. I also thought the little mice from Bubbles of Joy could look cute placed on the floatie's head, but it looked weird and unbalanced on the card, so I moved him to the top of the green circle instead.
