For this particular card I was the hare, because I used an idea from a card by Betsy Veldman. The white panel was cut down and embossed with the PTI picnic plaid impression plate. The bunnies were cut from some Basic Grey Kissing Booth DP, then two of them were cut with a scalloped circle die, to resemble bite marks. I tied on the twine bows, stamped the sentiment on the polka dot DP and placed it at the bottom. The bunnies were popped up with foam tape.
My advice for helping you make cards a little quicker, would be to find a few different designers that have a style you can really relate to, and make note of several of their cards. So when you're having trouble coming up with an idea, lean on their card designs. It's also important to give credit to them!

Good advice, Sue, for spurring one's inspiration. LOVE your going, going, almost gone chocolate bunny card. Sure to bring a smile to whomever receives it. The bunnies are so extra cute done in the flowery DP. Thoughtful gesture to give Betsy credit for your inspiration.....not everyone takes the time when they borrow someone else's idea.

I save cards to case, as well, but don't always remember to give credit. YOur card based on Betsy's is wonderful.........the colors and dp are great!
