WOW! This is gorgeous. The colors are a perfect touch. Could you explain how you used the Lumiere? I bought some last year and have been afraid to use it. I don't really know how.
Love your card!!!

To do the lumiere, you just pour some on a paper plate or wax paper, crumple up saran wrap, dab into lumier and dab on your glossy cardstock, leaving some white spaces to shine thru, then stamp over using your image. You can also brayer over the lumier after it dries, but I suggest using soft subtles inks (the darker colors don't look very good)
I really love this and have never heard of this technique. I am a fairly new stamper. Something I am going to have to try after seeing this card!
Great job!
