All the leaves are brown

Hi there lovely crafting people and a happy hump day to you! Yes its the middle of the week and I was reminded of that phrase last week - we always used to use it in my teaching days!!!

I've got something a little bit different to share with you today that I made mostly using the goodies that I got from the Lovely Paula Holifield after sharing a winning comment on Sue Bearhouse's site. I was very lucky. I got these (and more) fabulous ribbons, charms and twine. Should keep me going for a while - thanks so much!!!





I started with a standard size inkylicious tag and base coated it with antique linen distress stain, dried then added spiced marmalade distress stain. After it was dry I ran it through a leaves embossing folder from Sheena Douglass and then added walnut stain DI using cut and dry foam. Then I used black soot DI around the edge. I stamped and edged the verse and then added the skeleton leaves and charms and ribbons and finally the butterfly.

I'd like to enter my quick and simple tag into the following challenges:
