Let's have a big cup of positivi-tea

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a mixed media tag created using stamps and stencils from Art Inspirations and Bee Crafty.
To begin I cut about 1mm off every side of the Visible Image mixed media craft card tag. This will mean it will now form a layer on the black tag.
Before glueing it to the black one, I blended rusty hinge distress oxide through the Floral Panel stencil. I then blended gathered twigs distress oxide around the edges of the tag.
I, then, used Bee Crafty's dots dinkable, from set 2, to add festive berries distress oxide dots to the background.  I also used first, second and third generation stamping to add the How do I love tea sentiment around the tag.
On separate card, I stamped, using Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves ink, the cup and saucer twice and the cup once. I cut out the cup and saucer, the single cup and just the cup from the second cup and saucer. I also stamped the sentiment and cut it out. I edged this with gathered twigs.
Using a strong double sided tape I adhered half a crocheted doily to the bottom of the tag. I trimmed off the excess.
I used a mix of foam tape and matte medium to glue the craft tag to the black tag.
I glued the cups and sentiment to the tag and used a brown fineliner to add a faux stitch to both the tag and sentiment. 
Finally I added a selection of ribbons and lace to the hole.
