Briefly - Distress ink, PA Fresco paints on part of tag, Doily stencil on part of tag, Pearl glaze too! Then the stamping - my knight stamp, bought from a bargain box - stamped with clear embossing ink then brushed over with Mica powder - now you see him - now you don't! "Guinevere" (okay a Lynne Perrella maiden) stamped in grey, hiding behind the screen waiting for Lancelot. The words are straight from my Arthur book. Finishing touches - a distress edge stamp, tattered lace across the top with tied ribbon. The K stamped onto a piece of card. I have used the very top of a small Christmas tree punch to give a lacy edge. The heart on Lancelot's shield cut freehand from a piece of scrap.
Just to show you how it looks different when you move it here is another photo.

I always think that is such a sad story for all concerned. This is a beautiful, imaginative and unusual tag: I love that little glimpse of Guinevere behind the trellis. How perfect to put Knight and heart together. Thank you for dreaming with the Dragons this fortnight, Chris!
What a magical tag - the colours are so rich and full of mystery, and that fabulous sheen of the gilding which shimmers in and out of view - I love it! I agree with you and Julie Ann - it's such a rich, complex, messy, heartbreaking story and I think you've captured some of its eternal pull on us all in this beautiful tag.
