Is it possible to do brush embroidery on buttercream? Or does it have to be done on fondant? If it is possible, does anyone have any tips on how to do this? Thanks!! 
Yes, you can do brush embroidery on b/c. (Did this in Wilton I decorating class.)
But here's more:

Have fun!
Boy jan you are like a cake deco guru. You know where all the info is. Maybe we should just start pm you 1st with a question. 
Thanks for all your great posts!
I've done it, but I wait until it's pretty well crusted. Plus, since you're pulling icing in that technically isn't touching the cake, it works out. I have one in my pictures, but it's on fondant. I have practiced on bc though and it turned out.
Good luck! 
I totally agree that Jan is very knowledgeable! It's decorators like her that make this site a great find!
I love brush embroidery. I don't do it often but have never done it on bc. I would imagine you have to wait until it is well crusted like arosstx said! It helps a lot if once you have your initial outline to pipe an additional line of icing inside the outline and brush that with a damp brush! This helps keep the shape better. I learned that the hard way!!!!
