I used several different products to colour my card including PanPastels, Copics, gold glitter pen,  and a white Gell Pen. I paper pieced the wings from a couple colours of silver paper and used a stencil to create the hanging stars.

The metal flower is a die cut and I added a button to the centre of the flower.  This was a fun card to do.  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.
