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..

Thankyou to everyone for the gorgeous cards I recieved, they really did mean such a lot to me. So I am beginning 2023 "looking back to go forward" This is a great colour combination and a beautiful stampset to use... may there be much  kindness in your life in 2023. There are two shades of ink applied to the stamp with sponge daubers before stamping but the effect is quite subtle.  This was the INKspiration picture.  https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/kidfriendly-christmas-decor-213545 To create mine I embossed the DSP with the Leaf Fall Embossing folder, St
