Today is my son's 14th birthday. I couldn't decide what kind of card to make for him. Then I was inspired by two challenges. Peachy Keene has a sketch with a twist-you have to use twine or embroidery floss. And Celebrate the Occasion has a Ribbon challenge. Although this looks like a simple card I had a lot of problems with adhering the ribbon and floss. (The soccer background is ribbon) I don't have any twine, so I loosely braided three strands of embroidery floss.
