Altered Starbucks Card

Hello crafty friends!  Sorry for my late post today... I've been really really busy lately.  In fact, this month is going to be hectic as I have two craft shows and some side jobs.  So this is going to be quick.

Here's a card I made from a promotional Starbucks Christmas Card a year or so ago.  I remember taking one from our local Starbucks shop, and keeping it for this purpose.


I used Stickles to add sparkle on the tree:
