My favourite new set from the Occasions Catalogue is Petal Palette and I'm still experimenting with it. I'm equally taken by the gorgeous Petals and More framelits that go with it. They make cutting out the stamp shapes a cinch but I'm most in love with the branch of leaves and the cut work lattice.
Equally lovely are the strip embossing folders, Petal Pair. I've used one of these for the horizontal element of the sketch. I've water-coloured the spray of roses. Unusual colours but I was inspired by the irresistible colours at Just Add Ink this week.
