Non Traditional Tree Card

This card is non-traditional in every way possible…shades of blue instead of red and green, no stamping on the front, using a triangle to stand in for a tree, and even using the negative space from a die!!! But it shimmers and sparkles and definitely gives off holiday vibes in spite of all that.
