For me, the best time to try out a new or unfamiliar product is when I finally see it on clearance. I needed a sparkly green for holiday cards, and when this popped up in the "clearance isle" I scooped it up. This is exactly what my creative eyes wanted and the quality of this product did not disappoint. A perfect blend of silver and green. This green is on a little on the darker side...like a fir to hunter green. But, once it's heated, the blend is so pretty that the tone of the green won't matter. At least, it didn't for me! Looking to add another Brutus Monroe embossing powder.
