Red and green are in the embroidery and Santa has got red too, there are silver and gold dots, more colors such as yellow in the embroidery but you will find more in the wall and presents, there's a tree holly is stamped and water colored and I've added nuvo drops on the branch there is green and red too, baubles are in the tree, Santa is watching, the presents are under the tree, texture you've got several there's acrylic mousse on the bottom to make the snow, I could count the embroidery thread too and the nuvo drops, and one thing more I used a stencil to make the bg with water colors, very tricky but it worked, I stamped the sentiment and used foam tape to make it pop
Did I forget something??
This was real big fun Susie thank you for this great challenge.

I am sneaking a peep, but I will be sure to come back and read your description. I had better get baking, extra cookies are coming your way. Your embroidered tree is going to be the talk of the retirement village Snietje. Thanks for bringing this terrific card to the teaparty.

Anita, this is exquisite and a fabulous work of he(art) with your embroidered tree! Mom will truly appreciate your talent as she used to embroider pillow cases and doilies years ago and will surely bring back fond memories of her crafting days. Thanks so much for your thoughtful card!
Warm hugs!

Me again, I love your write up detailing our Teaparty Twelve Days of Christmas. I was intrigued by the brick wall, I love how you created it. You are so talented Snietje.

Gosh, there is a lot to remember, isn't there?! Wonderful as always, with your stitching. You put the pizazz in 'quaint.'And I use that word 'quaint' in the best of ways. Love your work.

Amazing Anita! I knew you'd do something with your signature stitching and this tree does not disappoint. I love the whole thing..so many wonderful Christmas motifs....she's going to love getting this...especially since it's from France, her birthplace ;)
