I've used a new die from Spellbinders that I thought would be perfect for those boys in our lives. Background is SU embossing folders. Can you believe that in all the boxes of ribbons, twines etc I hoard I could not find any very fine red ribbon.  I did however find some white twine which I coloured with Copic marker R59 refill ink...and that did the trick.
