Cottonberry Creations: Summer card and matching tag

Summer card and matching tag

I am entering my tag into this challenge listed here:-

http://simplycreatetoo.blogspot.co.uk/ Anything but a card/ends 1st August

It's a summer afternoon and time for tea. That's what I had in mind when I made this matching card and tag. I fell in love with these pretty tea time papers from CraftworkCards, they match beautifully. The die cut body form, tag and ribbon are also from CWC. I did a bit of matting and layering to show off the pretty papers. I added pearl brads, cute buttons, a jewelled brad and I die cut some butterflies to finish of this fun set.
I have entered my set into a few challenges listed below.
