Best Friends Forever!

Happy Friday everyone!  

I'm back with my second post for today! :)

It's Alphabet Challenge time and today's letter is... 

F for Friendship/Friends!

For my DT card I chose this adorable BFF Mermaids image from Michelle Perkett and the sentiment is included! It's colored with Copics and I used Vintage Photo ink for the distressing. I used a Momenta die for the shells & Sea Horse and the corner was cut with a Spellbinder die. The paper is from MME and I used Darice Damask folder for the embossing... added a few gems and there you have it!

Now head on over to the main challenge blog to check out the rest of the DT

For my DT card I chose this adorable Spooky Sally image from Michelle Perkett to work with and the sentiment is included!
