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:
