I used three images from the set and colored with Copic markers. I used Label 21 Nestablities to cut the main mat and I did some distressing for the mat. The sentiment was stamped on the cork sheet and cut out with Grommet Tags die. Then I stamped the image from Country Charm Labels. To finish off, the tag was embellished with the scalloped edges ribbon and tea roses.
