The challenge is to use ribbon or twine and the sponsor this month is The Cutting Cafe. The DT have been given a hot air balloon file to work with and you can find it HERE. It is quite easy even without any cutting machines and there are a number of options with sentiments and it all comes in the file that you download.
If you have a look at the challenge site, the DT have made really lovely projects using this cutting file. Lots of inspiration.

I decided to keep it quite plain as I want to give it to a young man who will be starting a new chapter in his life soon.
I cut the card from dark blue cardstock and then cut the sections out of a sheet of Marianne design paper.
The basket was a piece of netting from mosaic tiles, and then I added twine.
The sentiment is from the file and I printed it, cut it out, added a button and attached it with some twine.
I will enter the following challenges.
