Pink n Brown tag

Hiya, here's a large chipboard tag made primarily for the challenge at cupcake inspirations. Using pink and two browns. I also saw paper blocking on Hels Sheridan's blog and wanted to have a go. I used papermania capsule papers for this. In the top corner I then heated clear utee sprinkled with brown n gold embossing powders and stamped into using Hero Arts stamp. I was wanting the paper blocking to still show through but with some colour, hence my choice of powders. 
The butterfly was decoupaged with tiny bits of torn paper then painted with pva glue, acrylics and sprayed with cosmic shimmer and dylusions. It took a long time to cover and I love the metallic effect of the end result. The paper flowers were coloured with dylusions too. Leaves painted with gold acrylic. A fimo painted circle at the top and I little heart charm dangles from the butterfly.
This is one of those that the photo doesn't do justice to it.
Enjoy your weekend
Happy crafting
Luv dawn
