Here For You


 A dear friend gifted me with these beautiful papers a while ago and after making several cards, I had a few strips left over that I didn't want to waste. I also had some strips of retired SU! pastel green designer papers that were a perfect match, so I played with them until I came up with this design. I also added some thin strips of dark green cardstock snippets to add contrast. I placed it on another snippet of a matching blue cardstock and was rather pleased with the overall look. Then another generous and sweet friend recently sent me this adorable bunny image and I thought he looked perfect sitting on this panel. I added a tiny red heart to his chest and used a SU! sentiment from 2016 and called this one done.

I'm sharing this over at the Snippets Playground #472 since the whole card was made from snippets.

Heartfelt thanks to all of my thoughtful dear friends who generously share crafty items with me. I'm very blessed to be the recipient of many wonderful items to make cards with and I'm beyond grateful to each and every one of you.

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day.

What a lovely card you've made with everyone's fave bunny Carol. He certainly looks at home sitting on your pretty snippets. Love how you coloured bunny and gave him a little heart embellishment.

Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for cocoa later. xxx

Such wonderful card is this, Carol! Not only the sitting bunny with the tiny heart is a delight, but those oblique give an amazing effect to the design, I agree with you, the bunny looks just perfect sitting on it! Fabulous palette and clean design! And you used only snippets, very well done!! You deserve a gold star for sure! :D
Hugs, love and peace on your way dear friend! Hope that the sun shines just now and the snow is melting!

Love this, Carol! That bunny steals the show and looks wonderful with your patterned papers! I love that you tried the Twisted Ribbon technique here and added the strips of dark green cardstock to make it pop! So pretty! TFS and I hope you enjoy some warmer temps this week even though it comes with rain. Hugs~

Love how you used the strips of PP to create such a pretty design, using the darker tiny green strips. Really cool and lovely looking. The little bunny is perfectly placed atop the 'join', and the red heart stands out. TFS. Hugs. MH

This is so pretty, Carol! What an awesome use of your snippets/scraps! The addition of the dark green strips makes the card look 3-D. I love the bunny and the supportive and caring sentiment. Sending hugs and well wishes to you, my friend!

Great idea, I did not think to use the bunny this way! Inspiring as always.
