In this case I'm gonna to plead with you to try the technique yourself because I could not photograph it! The highlights of the gold and blue powders will not show up under my lighting.....so please try this:
How to: Use your wettest inks (in my case I used VersaFine Sepia) and stamp your image, then pull out your Perfect Pearls powders (I know you have some in your stash!), and using a tiny paint brush paint the powder on the image. In this case I painted the blue on the ends of the flowers, and the gold on the top near the stems. Then take a big brush and very lightly push down on the images and powder before removing all the pressure and dusting the extra powder off the card. What will be left is a lovely powder color and sheen - that you just can't get without powders - not even with glimmer mist. I find the powders stay well once the ink dries, but a light mist with water will ensure a strong set (do so before you stamp your sentiment).

It's too easy not to try, and the results are just so cool!
Enjoy!
