Tiki Time! Want a Tiki Torch Template?

The fun n' games over at Ginger Scraps aka Scrap Survivor started yesterday.  The first challenge calls for a Tiki Torch element.  I tried my hand at making a layered tiki torch template.  You can clip you own papers and goodies to the layers and merge the layers and Ta-da have a tiki torch element. It is pretty novice looking, but if you want it you may have it.  At least it will satisfy the requirement of a tiki torch and you can have it for free!  Free for you at least LOL!  It took me all night to make that simple little thing lol!  I started over several times, and finally came up with what you see below lol!  Using templates to make pages isn't allowed in the contest, but since this is an element and not a layout this will be acceptable.  You can just put "Tiki Torch by AmyP" in your credits if you use this.  The torch on the right is the one I put together, and the torch on the left is the layered one.

  

If you are doing the Scrap Survivor have fun and good luck!
Don't forget to leave me a comment if you download.  Thanks!!

Are you Ready?
