Uniko is celebrating their 8th Birthday and I wanted to join in the party....
I have used the pretty Uniko Peony stamp set and water coloured in cool colours.
Here is my card.....
I tried the no-line water colouring technique but as you can see I am no water colourist
but I had fun trying......
The stamp set also has a smaller peony flower stamp, so I made a tag too.
I finished the set off with a few drops of clear raindrops and a stamped sentiment.
and here's to many more years to come...
Still Wild, Windy, Wet and Very Cold weather here, where I live in Scotland...
Staying in to Craft!.....
Challenges I would love to enter.....
Uniko's challenge this month is anything goes
and I have gone with the optional cool Winter colours...
Super Thrilled with my Win - Thank you x.

Stunning card, gorgeous floral images and beautifully coloured Mac, Kate x x
I love this card and tag. It is so unique and wonderful in those colors. What a beautiful flower in the purple and blue.
Don't be so hard on yourself, Mac! I think your watercolouring is great! And what a spectacular colour combination - love the tones of mauve and purple for the flower and the striking blue leaves.
I've heard about your winter storms on the news over here in Canada. And my cousins live in Sussex and they've mentioned the very wet stormy weather they've had on the south coast. It must be even worse up in Scotland. Take care - stay warm and dry!
Such a Beautiful and Elegant card with gorgeous colouring Mac, I would say your colouring is fabulous. I hope you are dry, warm and safe in this dreadful stormy weather we are all having.

Beautiful card/tag combo, Mac. The blooms are gorgeous. Love the colours. And wow what a fabulous first attempt at no line watercolouring. I’ve only tried no line colouring with Copics... no line watercolouring is on my to-try list.
You are amazing with watercolouring, Mac!! These are beautiful. Great job with this difficult technique. LOVE the colours you've used. xx
Hi, Mac! Both the card and tag are incredible! I am a lover of blue leaves - there is something so special when the leaves "compete" with a flower's beauty in this way. After all, there would be no flowers without the leaves! They are beautiful in their own way, yes? It's a fantastic way of celebrating Unkio's birthday! hugs, de
Wow! You have mastered the no-line watercolor tech to me! It's absolutely gorgeous and I really love your choice of colors with it as well! What a stunning set of projects you've made here! Thanks for the inspiration! HUGS
Beverley, you really need to know these are so spectacular! Every painter has a style, your loose water coloring is just the way I like it!! Gorgeous combo of purple and blue... the tag is so wonderful, who would need a gift attached?? xx

Such a gorgeous purple rose on your card and tag! Fabulous water coloring with the no line technique...simply fabulous...so pretty!!
Mac, I think you are a water colourist! I love your technique. Your card and tag are simply fabulous! Hugs, my friend.
Wow! This card and tag are beautiful Mac! You did a great job at no line watercoloring. I wish I could do this good. I think you are being way to hard on yourself. It is fun trying isn't it? I haven't tried the no line stuff yet, want to at some point. Just trying to learn how to watercolor decently...which hasn't come yet. Don't think it is going to be my thing but I keep trying. I do better with pencils. Anyway, I think you did great! Hugs, Brenda
What an amazing colour for this beautiful peony Mac. A stunning card and tag. x
Stunning card, Mac, beautiful no line watercolouring. I've never tried this technique, thanks for the inspiration. xx
Your peony is gorgeous, Mac! I think you watercolor beautifully! A lovely card and tag, my friend!
Mac,personally I think you nailed the no line watercolouring, those blues are stunning and such a great tag also.
Keep safe in the rain and winds and I hope you haven't had too much flooding.
Wow what stunning shades of blue you have here M. Such a beautiful CAS twofer with that tag. Your no line water colouring looks amazing to me. I haven't even attempted it as I'd fail for sure. I see GB are having WWW and VC weather. Great time to hibernate and craft. Love them!
Your tag and card took my breath away, Mac! Not only is your coloring divine, but the colors themselves are unexpected and pure bliss!! Hugs, Darnell
What a beautifully striking card, Mac! Never thought to make blue leaves & I love them with the purple bloom!
Amazing colours Mac, I absolutely stunning colours used and gosh I just love this. I have just received another Altenew stamp so hope to get to watercolour that with my new paints...big hugs.xx
What a stunner Mac - loving your rich watercoloured peony's!! The raindrops are perfect.
We are still hot and dry - crunchy grass stuff - hanging out for rain, and praying no fires start, it's tinder dry and we are officially in drought.
Blessings

Your card is beautiful.

You do yourself and injustice... This is one of the best and most beautiful no line water colourings that I've seen... Mac it's fantastic!

I think your no line is pretty amazing, Mac! Beautiful image and colors. Our winter came in like a lion, dropping temps to teens overnight, a couple of light dustings of snow and then.... warm weather! Bizarre for us here for sure
Your peony is amazing and your coloring is perfect. I especially like your choice of colors. It's a great idea to make the leaves blue. Thank you for sharing with us at DotMCC and we hope we see you next month again. Gundi

Thanks for your upload to the Uniko Challenge #57.
Greetings from Wiebke (Uniko Brand Ambassador Team)
Stunning! Do not ever underestimate your watercolour skills as even the most professional of colourists will tell you that water colouring can have it's moments. You've defined each petal with perfection and what a beautiful choice of colourway too. This would make a wonderful Mother's day card and personalised tag. Thank you for sharing all that loveliness with us.
Hugs Tracey xx
This card is so romantic ... The rose has a bit of a rustic look and it makes the card so nostalgic. I also love the tag, it creates a perfect set with the card.

Just one word ....... WOW!!!! Thank you for joining in with the Uniko birthday celebrations xx
Congrats on your honourable mention at the flower challenge, it just proves that no-one can resist the wonder and beauty of your cards xx
Somehow I missed this one Mac and it is such a pretty rose and the colours are amazing! Beautifully coloured too and certainly worthy of being an HM over at The Flower Challenge, so congratulations for that. x
Congrats on your HM at The Flower Challenge! It's a beauty for sure
I think your watercolour shading is working perfectly to create depth and detail on those beautiful roses. Such gorgeous colours too!
