Welcome to our first November inspiration challenge! This time round we are celebrating the coolness in the air with this gorgeous stack of blankets/throws. Makes me wants to curl up in one of them in front of a fireplace with a good book! The LEAD for this challenge will be invited to be a Guest Designer in an upcoming challenge. Today our Guest Designer is Nancy Thomas - welcome Nancy :)
I have come to the realization that I do not have a lot of plaid in my paper collection! I dug and dug through my stash and this was one of the few pieces I found! Even though was in a Halloween themed paper pad, it pulls in a lot of the colours in the photo so it was a go - phew!! Worked with what I had and added extra colour with the leaves to create a somewhat masculine birthday card - for a manly man who can handle a loopy, twine bow {grin}.
Have fun with the challenge and I look forward to seeing your creations in the Curtain Call gallery.

Beautiful! Love your leaf cluster!
I want to wrap myself up with those lovely plaid blankets and spend time, all cozy and warm, gazing at your gorgeous card! You don't need much plaid paper to design something amazing, as you've clearly shown here! Once again, in awe...

Such a pretty car Marisa. Love those big fall leaves and the rich colors. The plaid panel looks wonderful in the background.
The cluster of leaves match the plaid paper perfectly. Everything pops against the white background.
