I dabbed lumiere onto glossy cardstock with a wadded up piece of saran wrap. Let dry overnight. Then brayered elegant eggplant over entire piece. I let dry for a couple of minutes and wiped off the excess with a tissue. Then stamped lovely as a tree in stazon purple, then applied glitter with little dabs of glue on a paintbrush. The snow on the ground was done by using a sponge dauber with white craft ink, last I cut a circle out of scrap paper as a template and used the sponge dauber for the moon. Last stamped thank you in black stazon. The lumiere makes the background much shinier than you can see in the scan.

Don't know how I missed this one when I was looking at your gallery (which I do often). You must have been (still are?) an artist in another medium before starting stamping--your cards are just so stunning! I might have to actually try working with glossy CS after seeing this one.
