Allsorts Challenge #730

 I've made this card for the Allsorts Challenge this week where the theme is **anything goes with the option of using a stencil**.  I wanted to use up some snippets left over from recent projects while they were still lying around prior to being tidied away into various boxes.  I managed to cut a couple of narrow strips from some of my experiment with spray starch and pigment powders.  The strips have been embossed to give them a bit of interest and I've added a fancy strip, die cut from dark teal pearlescent card.  The background has been partially stencilled using a toning ink. Still more of the dark teal card left so I die cut the sentiment and a butterfly.  This two-layer butterfly die comes all in one piece so I did actually cut one set in teal and one in gold which means I now have a 'spare' gold one with teal additions ready to use on another card.  The butterfly die is a recent purchase but all other items have been in my stash for quite a few years, so possibly no longer available.
