I’m in love with A LOT of the new stamp sets in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue, but I have to tell you, Oh So Eclectic might just be my favourite.  If you were going to buy just one stamp set, this would be my absolute recommendation.  It’s such a versatile stamp set and I love the different looks you can achieve by stamping and layering the images, especially when pairing the stamp set with the Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies.

I can’t wait to get to grips with the dies in this set and have some real fun, but for my first try I decided to die cut the central pattern and use this cut out as a mask.  I then sponged through the mask with powder pink, berry burst, lemon lime twist and pacific point and stamped and cut out a few leaves and flowers for added texture and dimension.  I adore the ‘fresh’ look that this colour palette creates.
