The bunny and chicken card is amazing and so unusual. May I ask what company it is from?

It's a Carnation Crafts collection - I'm thoroughly addicted to them! You download vignettes to use with the dies, one colourway is free but you can pay for other colours. They also do USBs for some of the collections.

Thanks Pamela
I have some tattered lace dies and a usb that I got when it was on offer
The usb has loads of backing papers as well but nothing you can’t find free online
But the Carnation craft ones look so much better
Sitting on hands trying not to buy

My Card from Mitzi arrived today
A clean and classic card

and the lovely tape on the envelope

I can never do less is more cards they always look a bit naff
but this card is lovely and right on topic for me as I love birds I have wrens nesting in the Ivy next to the patio and the blue tits have started to nest in the camera box, it's full of moss and Ruby's fur
Mrs blue tit will not lay egss yet or if she does will not start to incubate them till the moth caterpillers arrive on the big Oak tree
Then I will get no work done as I will be watching the box
Hubby will have to watch tv in the bedroom lol

I had a naughty sneak peek of your card Jan! Like you I struggle with clean and simple cards.

That is really a lovely card Mitzi. I used to throw everything at my cards years ago - all kinds of embellishments - but I'm a (little) more restrained these days. Still a long to go though!

I was going to try another "more is more" card a bit like the one I sent LJ for her birthday. But then I learned I was sending to LJ so thought it would be too similar. So instead I went to the other extreme with a clean and simple card. For once it worked really well and I was very pleased with it. I even immodestly said to DH "I would buy a card like that in a shop."

Victoria, if you have a photo of the card you sent me, can you post a photo of it? My pic doesn't do it justice.

That’s better we can see it properly now. Lovely card Victoria - really Spring like. The colours are very vibrant.

Is it just me waiting for a card? If so I’m guessing it’s from PP.
