For this card I was a hare, thanks to a neat sketch I saw on CAS(E) this Sketch! The circles were cut from aqua mist, lemon tart and melon berry papers and placed on the white panel. The bunny was cut from some Simple Stories DP and placed over the circles. The sentiment was stamped and the panel placed over the same DP I used for the bunny.
My advice for making quicker cards is to find some sketches you like, which in this case is last weeks CAS(E) this Sketch #115 layout. When I'm struggling with a card idea I find it really helps me to use a sketch, thus taking one step out of the idea process. I also find it helps me to buy patterned papers with colors that I enjoy and ones that don't have really large designs (which I find hard to work with).
The SU sketches each week are great ones to, so try to use them for card ideas!

Super cute! I am with you! I like to find a sketch, unfortunately as in today, it doesn't always help me. I love "case this sketch" and this one is adorable with your cute Hare!

Great card..love the colors! I agree with you about the sketch...I was never a sketch person but since coming to SCS I've learned how wonderful they can be.

oh that is a cool design ( I tend to shy away from circles) but, I like that they all overlap here its almost floral or something. I like that you did your bunny in the same pattern and the mat too.

I always say there's elegance in simplicity. Sue, your CAS card is a 'less is best' kind of card with just your circles, rabbit die and a hint of bg dsp. Very nice and well thought out as far as design goes. I think the case challenge you mentioned is only for SU demos.
