CI#136 Dainty Delight With a fresh New Year Resolution - the upcycle project!

How beautiful are the stunning new Dainty Delight Dies? - available in the Mini catalogue and coordinating with the Dainty Delight Stampset and the free paper available with purchase as part of Sale a Bration. I was inspired by Jan Clothier in the Colour INKspiration of #135 and knew I had to add the dies to my collection. I have loved playing with them.. There is a beautiful leaf spray and some delightful tiny flowers as well as outline dies for some of the floral sprays in the stamp set.
