It is beautiful, especially the starry sky. My Payne's Grey isn't nearly so blue as yours. Wondering if Indigo would work better for me? I love the splash of pink in the sky.

That’s a beautiful card! Thank you!

Sorry, another question. I saw from a previous post that you use Langton paper. Do you use the cotton one (prestige) or the wood pulp one. My understanding is the even as a beginner it is an advantage to use cotton, and while cotton is expensive, hobby craft seem to have a really price on Langton prestige. Thank you.
