I have never thought to use a stencil that way- with the white and watercolors- so cool! You have so many layers and they work together. So many things in your tag but the focal point is very clear. There is so much creativity in you- thanks for sharing it with us!

Wow!! What a GORGEOUS tag!!! Who would have thought that you could emboss using your stencils? Such a great idea that I'm definitely going to have to try!

This is gorgeous!! Thanks for the step by step also. I've never used embossing powder, but I've been thinking about giving it a try. It is so amazing everything you can do with it!
