Red: card base & other papers, berries on the tree
Green: Napkin, tree
Gold: embossing on JOY & gifts, the 1/2 pearls, & the snowflakes
Silver: embossing on gifts
Additional Colours: hmm, does Very Vanilla count? And blue in the yarn & the brads on the snowflakes!
Trees: yes, main image, & Santa is holding one
Holly: I'm going to count the bit of holly leaf in the upper right corner...
Baubles: the JOY sentiment
Santa: Yes! A vintage Santa!
Presents: under the tree--heat embossed on various patterned papers & then fussy-cut, glued together & popped up with dimensionals
Texture: I'm going to count the texture in my "felted" napkin background!
One more thing not on the list: Snowflakes! (fussy-cut from the "felted" tissue paper!)
Hopefully the Teapot Team will give this one a pass!
(This really does look much better IRL...I need to work on my photo skills! Ugh!)

Liz, I find your photo simply wonderful and your card is an exquisite vintage beauty!
the felted napkin background is an amazing soft texture element and love all the beautiful interest on your card! I keep looking at it and find something delightful each time.
Thank you for marvelous creation for my Mom. She is going to love every inch of it as much as I do.
Warm hugs!!

Liz, this is such a gorgeous, gorgeous Christmas card. I adore the softness and texture of the napkin background and how this creates such a lovely backdrop for all of these wonderful vintage elements. I struggle enormously to make collage cards, and you make it look really easy and beautiful my friend (which I love!). ~Karen.

Ohhhb Liz you sure get extra cookies, you romped the 12 days of Christmas in. I keep scrolling back I see something I missed. Your write up was fun too and i can imagine Jeannies mum reminising about Christmases past with the lovely vintage card. Thanks for coming to the teaparty Liz.

What a wonderful vintage card, a classic Christmas captured. I keep meaning to try the felted napkin technique now that I have a different wrap. I especially like the JOY baubles, and the hint of holly. The hold trim looks fab too.
I feel as we haven't had proper daylight for a week (except when I've been in work), struggling to get good photos here too.

Wow what a fantastic job of getting all the challenge items on your pretty card! The G45 tag with Santa is a beautiful element and I love how you added in the holly leaf in the corner!
