For my patterned papers, I chose the Nontraditional Christmas digital collage sheets from My Artistic Adventures Etsy. These included the BINGO card for my base and the tree.
The image of the woman reading in the chair is from RRD Relish Reading plate. I stamped her on beige card and then again several times on the patterns. After fussing cutting the chair, skirt and pillow, I pieced them all together.
I found a scrap of felt trim to anchor the chair and tree to the "floor". Hero Arts turquoise gems on the tree, Stampin' Up snow flury die for the snowflake and an antique bingo card cover/button from my stash complete the card. I used Ranger distress markers to edge the papers and try to alter the red to pink on the bingo piece.
The temperatures are frigid here with schools closed due to dangerous wind chill factors. Sitting in our cozy attic library with a good book helps warm us up--physically and mentally.

WOW! Great job on all the paper piecing, turned out lovely.
I really love how you incorporated vintage with more traditional embellishments (bingo card) and I love how you used it for a holiday theme. Great card and love the snowflakes. Thanks so much for joining us in The Sisterhood of Crafters for our Winter Snowflakes challenge.
