Allsorts Challenge #8

This week the Allsorts challenge is 'shaped cards', that's any shape apart from a square or rectangle!'. So just had to fit this challenge in for 2 reasons. 1, another chance to use my new butterfly template and 2 the prize for the lucky random winner is a free download from Pink Petticoat! An opportunity too good to miss.
I've had another play with distress inks (Tattered Rose this time) and am happier with the result. Regular visitors might remember my last attempt HERE Lol!
I've embossed the layers with swiss dots and textile CB folders and sprayed with some Patina glimmer mist. The gem is from a bargain pack of gems from Tesco, pearl head pins from craft box. Tfl xx
