**** Fab'n'Funky #570 ****

 Good day everyone,

I hope the sun is shining where you are and perhaps a little warmer as well.

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #570

hosted by our lovely Sue who has asked us to show you some die cuts.

The theme this fortnight will be

"Add Die Cuts"

I am a fan of dies, especially those that create images.  I admit I find the little pieces stressful at times but I like the outcome so much I continue to buy them. 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. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

AAA Birthday Game #48 - Layer it Up
A Perfect Time to Craft - 2023.#4
