You can add glitz and glamour in so many ways. For this card we have:

The background has been created by adding some Starry Sky Ink onto a piece of Pool Party card using a blending brush.
To add texture splatter with some water and dry with some kitchen towel.
The die cut branches have been edged with ink to help them pop on the monochromatic scheme
The decorations are White Glimmer card backed with an adhesive sheet to make then easy to add to the card.
