Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop September 25

Hello friends, I hope you're doing ok and that you've had a lovely day so far. It's time for a new theme for the Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop, which takes place on the 5th of each month. You always have the option to go for anything goes but the extra prompt this month is 'autumn', which is great theme and with so many images to choose from such as pumpkins, leaves, apples, figures bundled up in their sweaters/gloves the world is your oyster!  I can't wait to see what the rest of my fellow hoppers have made. I hope you can pop over to Instagram and join us. 
I wanted to use leaves on my tag as there are so many variations in the colours in the autumn.  I ended up going really clean and simple this month but I really like how it turned out.  I hope you like it too. 
Here is my tag:
A closer look at the details:
Plus I decorated the back of the tag:
I began by die cutting two tags from white card.  For the front of the tag I used a woodgrain backdrop die to add some texture and interest.  I die cut 3 leaves, 1 from red, 1 from yellow and 1 from green card from my scraps bin, added some inking around the edges for definition and added them to the tag with foam squares.  I stamped the sentiment in the bottom right of the tag using a dark brown ink pad.  I used some kraft coloured twine to make a small bow and using liquid glue adhered it to the top of the leaves.  I also added a hole reinforcer cut from kraft card.  I finished off with a few sequins to match the leaves.  For the back I die cut another 3 leaves and adhered them to the bottom left of the second tag and I also stamped another sentiment using the same dark brown ink.  I added another hole reinforcer cut from kraft card and then adhered the tags together with liquid glue.  I found some ribbon and twine that matched my colours and looped them through the hole for some extra colour.  I know it is really clean and simple but I love it. 

I would like to enter my tag into the following challenges:
