Oh, I wish you could see this IRL. I love this card (if I pat my own back shamelessly). I used my Nuvo glue pen to create strokes along the swirls and used gilding flakes over it. It really is nice and sparkly. I added silver mirror cardstock for accent. The moon was made with a circle punch and sponging ink. The yellow accents were done with pan pastels. I added a modern cityscape to provide a mashup of artistic styles.
