#109 TIO Tag - The Age of Chivalry

Well, here is another Wednesday, and here is another TIO challenge... I LOVE my teams' work and support, but they DO keep on challenging me these days!!! The Age of Chivalry is a wonderful theme, but I had very little to work with, so this is what I came up with...

 I thought of crowns and Fleur de Lys, chain mail and golden cord...

 I am loving to use metal decoration and, like last week,  again I used an on the edge die...one to echo the fleur de lys... see also the lions. These are from TH, stamped in red brick, and embossed in clear ep...as always!!

 Here is the full tag. I used red brick, spiced marmalade and scattered straw distress inks, smooched on the craft sheet and mixed. I stamped in archieval black and used clear ep. The large stamp and the crown are from a plate by Elusive Images. There is a crafty individuals script along the right side stamped in vintage photo... my layering again...

 The left side has the word "knight" in TH grunge board letters, coloured with fired brick and touched with gold pen...

I LOVE the texture of this middle section, with the diamonds, fleur de lys and lions. Actually I like the whole tag and it did not really take me too long today!!! Often I faff about, but it all came together well this time...

Off to do more inkyness now for Simon Says, Sunday Stamper and Grungy Monday... and anything else I can find... Thanks for coming over to look and to leave your great comments... I do appreciate you taking the time...
Love and Light

So gorgeous, Frankie. I love the beautiful embossing. I just went back and read some of your past posts and some of the other blog posts. I read about your mum being cross with you. I feel sure that this is a passing thing, but still I know it stings, especially since you have been such a good daughter.
