Happy Birthday
Plaids have always been a favorite design of mine since school days of "Madras plaids". I dug into some older stash for this mad plaid paper. This is also my first attempt at a twisted ribbon card. The double sided plaid worked well for this design. I used copper metallic specialty paper for the die cut leaf, kept all of the pieces intact and adhered it as one piece.
Next, I created a shaker card using just the top layer of the die cut leaf.
SENDING WARM HUGS
I die cut the leaf into the card front and backed it with the plaid on the reverse side of the front panel plaid. The leaf layer is adhered to acetate with sequins added between the layers. I cut a smaller metallic leaf to mat the stamped sentiment.

And a pretty plaid Shaker card (my favorite kind of card!) It's gorgeous! I love the added smaller leaf too, perfect place for your sentiment to land! Fabulous!!!
WOW ... look at you go! Your initial card is GORGEOUS! LOVE LOVE LOVE that plain ribbon panel and your maple leave is stunning. How smart of you to used your off cuts to create another beauty ... and a shaker to boot! WELL DONE! Amazing Fall inspiration ... thanks!
Wow, that copper leaf is stunning, and the entire card design is ah-mazing, the twisted ribbon technique is beautiful, I've never seen it before, and then of course there is the shaker, shakers are one of my favorite cards and yours is gorgeous!! That's what I love about our teams, all so unique and inspiring!!
Oh! I love the effect of the twisted ribbon technique. I've always meant to try this with ribbon, but I like it even better with paper. Your shaker leaf is just gorgeous! Love that you have both the skeleton leaf and the smaller full leaf. The copper glows against the fall plaid!
