The idea of a subtle Santa behind a tree came to me quickly, but the coloring, not my strong suit, took me a lot longer, as I used a bunch of different pens, markers and pencils. Much of this is sparkly. I managed to complete the 12 items, my choice for # 12 being the lacy edges. Santa's hat trim is soft and puffy. This was a very fun challenge, and I am thrilled to wish Jeannie's Mum a Merry Christmas!

How pretty is that tree with all the tiny ornaments and packages just waiting to be opened! I love your vision come reality with the subtle Santa overlooking it all. The lace a lovely final detail. Well done achieving all 12 elements!

Brilliant ideas, and how fun to get all 12. I really intended too do them all too but somehow 2 slipped me. This is a lovely card. Hugz

I love your creation Lori! The subtleness of Santa is a genius idea and admire your results of soft colors. Your festive tree with darling adornments is super cute! My Mom will love your card as much as I do!
Thanks so much for your endearing card for my Mom!
Warm hugs!

With the lacy edging and decorative punched corners, this reminds me so much of a feature on Victorian cards which I cut out of a magazine, oh, forty years ago! I bet the gel pen colouring looks super, and I knew at a glance that you must have got all of Susie's list covered with this sweet card.
