Dragons-Dream TIO 89 - Pressing Matters

Hello, and welcome to another Dragons Dream.  Thank you for all your entries last week - it is such fun seeing what you all dream up each time.  
So, it's my choice of theme again this week and in case the challenge title is too cryptic, I want you to emboss this week. (Pressing, get it?!) You can use any kind of embossing you want - heat, dry, with metal, texture fades, you name it!

 I can't stop using this Papillon background! This time I used broken china distress stain on the tag, and white embossed the stamp.  I die cut some butterflies (Tim Holtz) - two in metal, two on black Clearly for Art.  I coloured them with alcohol inks (silver, sailboat blue and purple twighlight) The metal butterflies,I added some patterns with a Ten Second Studio wheel before adding the colour.












Hope you'll come and see what my teamies have come up with this week - and why not join in.  Just remember the theme - and to use at least one proper stamp. Have fun!

    Love the gentle background colour, so apt for the papillon script. Like the metal butterflies!
