Here is my card :

I have stamped Summertime Blooms from Monika Martinson on kraft cardstock, then heat embossed it with white powder. I have colored this image using Metalic Gelatos from Faber-Castell. This was fun and I liked the shimmery result. I also used the Gelatos directly on the Vintage Fancy Corners misted with water and then stamped on each corner of the kraft. Colors used: Metalic-Blueberry, Melon, Mint.  I have also used *NEW Vintage Harmony it is hiding a bit but I was so pleased that it matched perfectly with the flowers.

Mini Lace Doily Corner 1 Die,
