As always I'm chasing my tail and just scraping in with a couple of challenges today.
Firstly, Frankie's Tag It On Challenge is to "Impress", not to amaze folk, but rather to impress a stamp into something. I have chosen to triple emboss, a favourite technique of mine. I painted the tag background with acrylic paint and stamped with some bubble wrap on top using a contrasting colour. On top of the paint I stamped with a Paperartsy college flower using Peeled Paint Distress ink and finally added the circles of triple embossing which was done using Cosmic Shimmer UTEE. The circles had gold perfect pearls rubbed over the top to highlight the embossing.
I am also scraping in last minute with this fortnight's Stampman Challenge which is to pick a favourite project from 2010 They are also having a Blog Hop and there is still time to join in as it runs until Thursday 13th January. Just pop over to the Challenge blog and start hopping. They have some terrific prizes on offer.
For my favourite project I have chosen the card I made for my lovely MIL's 70th Birthday. Her favourite flowers are snowdrops and my blogging friend Lynda very kindly sent me this image and this is the card I made with it.
Thanks for stopping by and hello to my lovely new followers. How nice to start the New Year with some new Blogging Buddies.

Two gorgeous projects. I can see why the card was one of your favourite projects of the year. The tag is lovely - How did you get the UTEE in such perfect circles may I ask?

Gorgeous projects and I can see why you chose the snowdrops as your favourite of 2010! Thanks for joining us at The Stamp Man challenge.
Fantastic projects but I LOVE that snowdrop card. I'm always chasing my tail as well!! Thanks for sharing.
Those snowdrops look fab combined with the punch, so effective! And a great choice for the StampMan challenge. Thanks so much for joining us at The StampMan challenge :)
These are both gorgeous but I have to say the card is really something special. Somebody, somewhere was really chuffed to receive that. Love that beautiful green.
