The Age of Chivalry


Posted by Picasa'He who returns from a Journey is NOT the same as he who left' - that is my quote for the day and also the message on my Tag.
I don't enter very often but Dragon TIO has asked us to dream of 'The Age of Chivalry' this week so here is my interpretation.

Lord Geoffrium of York is going away to the Crusades wearing his Lady Cynthius of Halifax favour on his lance for all the world to see.

The stamp is one I bought ages ago from the Stamp Barn and have never used ... I love their stamps - so this challenge was a good chance to use it.

I created the background using Tim Holtz Distress stains in Faded Jeans and Dusty Concord then oversprayed with purple and blue Mica mists.  I stamped the Knight and embossed him with Cosmic Shimmer black/red embossing powder then added some trees and swirls.  I overstamped and embossed the trees in the same powder and it really sparkles in real life.
I added the sentiment from Rubber Stampede then made the favour from purple and white ribbon and attached with a pink C brad and a pink staple. Of course it had to be purple didn't it???
I do hope he returns soon safely of course..... he he he comes back on the 26th July actually getting here on the 27th.
I hope you like my tag, thanks for looking xx

A Winter's View













Gosh these girls at Bah Humbug have really got me at the Christmas cards now so here is another for their challenge this week. This time I have chosen trees, baubles, glitter and holly as my combos.  I stamped and embossed the tree scene from The Stamp Barn  then sprayed the top third of the card with blue Cosmic shimmer spray and the bottom with green.  I added some gold and silver Glitter pen again, a couple of holly corner stickers and another of these fabulous glitter stickers from QVC and a tiny little snowflake bauble too.
