They both used the mother of pearl technique. I did not have Lumiere to use for the technique so I tried using rubber cement dabbed on with saran wrap on my glossy cardstock. I then brayed on Sahara sand over that then rubbed the rubber cement off to achieve a similar effect. I colored the image with markers then used a blender pen to lift off some of the color to lighten and soften the coloring. I did not color the watering can, but outlined the outside edges with the blender pen.

This is absolutely gorgeous, and since I don't have the supplies that the official technique calls for, I will try your way! Thanks for the tips, and for the card!
