TOMIC - Challenge #38 "Friendship"

Hi everyone!

It's time for another TOMIC challenge... yesss!!

This week's challenge is *friendship*: you must to use the word "Friend" in your creation AND also a Magnolia Doo Hickey Die.

And here's what I made for this challenge:

Tilda is from the newest 2012 Valentine's Collection and the heart doo hikey die too. I colored Tilda with Distress Inks and blended different colors and Crackle Paint for the background to make a "wash-out" effect ;-)

The swirls and phrase around Tilda were heat embossed using Gold embossing powder. For the sentiments, I used stickers and rubons. I used different flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Magnolia, etc. and papers from Girls Paperie and Crate Paper.

Now visit TOMIC's blog and see what the rest of the DT did for this challenge and give it a try too ;-)
