I think olive, aqua and gray are quite retro colors for a Christmas card, so I hope this passes muster at Merry Monday.
I die-cut three of the wreath shapes and glued them together. I then randomly placed groupings of tiny little aqua stars. Once I'd die-cut the bow, I went over some parts with a matching Copic marker to give it some definiton and shading.
The sentiment is stacked three high and it, plus the stars are all liberally coated in Wink of Stella for a lovely shimmer.
Thanks for visiting.
