For this week's TLC - a full description of the technique is in the first post of the challenge, which can be found here: TLC570 Dry Embossing with Stencils.
After embossing my tag, I rubbed it with Craft-T luster rub-ons. The flowers are cut from a dictionary page and misted with homemade sprays. The metallic stamen centres are punched from an old tomato puree tube, the smaller flower has pearls for the centre. The velvety leaves have been in my stash forever, but I think they are Prima. I added lace at the bottom and over a corner, and some Brusho-died seam binding. The butterfly was a RAK from Donnajeanne, misted with Brusho acrylic shimmer spray and then lots of Stickles added to it, and also to the edge of the tag and the dots in the centre of each diamond.

This looks brilliant Sabrina. Thank you for the great description. I never would have thought to colour the seam binding with Brushos......I will never mop up excess Brushos with a baby wipe ever again!!!

FAB tag! Love the bkgrd. I am impressed at how your Brushos mist looks on your beautiful butterfly! I wouldn't have tried that because I would have thought that the colors would mix into mud. OBVIOUSLY not! And like Susie said, how clever to mop up the Brushos with your seam binding. Gave me some ideas to try to mop it up with other elements, too. THANKS for the inspiration, Sabrina!

Oh I really like your tag, Sabrina! The flowers and butterfly are gorgeous. I really like your using a dictionary page for the flowers. I would not think of that. Again, thanks Sabrina for the challenge!
