Coloring the Graceful Glass Vellum is super easy and oh so pretty!  You can also color on the front of it because it is slightly embossed so you stay in the lines!  Since the ‘So Many Smiles’ stamp had stitching on it I chose the Stitched Shaped Framelits, but you can use the Layering Ovals Framelits if you don’t have both!
