Today's card is a mix of stencils and medias to achieve a Tone on Tone effect....
Here is My Card.....
Distress inks where used, along with two stencils.
Embossing paste and Crackle paste where also used.
The embossing paste helps with the tone on tone effect,
as it soaks up the colour underneath and gives another layering and tonal effect.

I finished off with a strip of foil and a sentiment stamped in brown
and heat embossed with white on top.

This is a stunning card Mac, beautifully designed, and the stencil work is fabulous. I love the texture you've created with the crackle paste and the lovely colours.
You are so artistic and a wonderful inspiration, keep safe Kate x
That is a wonderful masculine birthday card! Love the way you achieved the tone-on-tone with the embossing paste and crackle paste!
How ancient treasure! I love the effect you have achieved. The colors of the old flamed wood and the golden stripe look stunning. Someone will be LOVED !! Thank you for this moment of communing with beauty and for sharing this beauty. I'm so glad to see you on your blog again :-)
hugs,

Another mixed media masterpiece! Amazing texture and dimensions with the pastes. The gold foil is a fabulous touch.
Mac, this subtly colored card is big on presentation! I feel like I’m viewing ancient ruins, or perhaps sand hued canyons. It’s beautiful! Hugs, de
This is so gorgeous. I like this look.
YAY! Glad you joined us at CAS Mix Up this month Mac - this is once again just an amazing card. You are an inspiration to all who think mixed media is only for canvas! Gorgeous card my friend. x
Wow! What a lot of tones you got with these different media, Mac! Love the added texture of the crackle and the thin foil strip makes a perfect divider between the design and sentiment! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
Fabulous texture and I just love the varying tones of colour finished with that gorgeous gold foil....perfect. Happy creative weekend, Angela xXx
This is gorgeous Mac and love the white paste and crackle giving such wonderful texture and I love the super script and the flourishy shapes for the stencilling. The foil strip gives a great shiny edge, and the brown sentiment with white embossing over the top gives a little hint of shadow from the brown but makes it look like it is just an impression, such a clever idea. x
Super amazing project!! Love the tone on tone and the fabulous texture!! Great addition with the gold foil!! Well done as always, so creative!!
A beautiful card Mac - so elegant and really like how you have placed the sentiment to the right - very unique Cheers Maurs xxx
Wow Mac incredible. did you leave the first stencil dry the apply the second? I so love the effect :)
Always creative & artistic! Love this, Mac!
So beautiful! Oh this one is just fantastic, Mac
Stunning card Mac, love the strip of foil! Thanks for sharing with us at Watercooler Wednesday.
Gorgeous mix of elements on this beautiful card Mac! I especially love that crackle paste. So cool how the colours show through to create the tone-on-tone effect. xx
oh wow this turned out fabulous, amazing tone on tone and the crackle is awesome. xx
Beautiful card! I love your mixed media look. I haven't tried crackle paste, but after seeing your card I may need to add it to my shopping list. Have a great week and thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday. Karen
Stunning card, Mac. I love the old German script in the two tones. Beautifully done.
A fabulous card. I love the tone on tone and the strip of gold foil was so perfect with it.
Another STUNNER Mac!! Love your tone on tone color and that crackle paste...LOVE it! Always love seeing your creations my friend!! Hugs. :0)
What a stunning tone on tone card. I love the texture you achieved and the soft color. Using the two stencils worked so well for a great image. Great idea.
Wow, this is beautiful Mac. I've kept thinking about entering this challenge but I'm not sure that I could do it justice. A wonderful design and finished card x
Superb! I love the natural tones to this gorgeous card and all this beautiful texture. You never cease to amaze me, this is so well thought out and then executed. A masterpiece!
Fabulous stenciled background and love the colors.
Hugs Diane
Yummy yummy texture and the gorgeous natural tones this is delicious. The crackle is such a brilliant touch giving depth and enhancing the whole tone on tone. x
Wow, you never ceased to amaze Mac! This card is amazing! I love that stencil and I love how you used it. Or is it two stencils??? I think it was really clever to use a crackle median and paste, give this so much texture and visual interests. Love the tone on tone color you got with one color too. Love, love, love this beautiful amazing card! Hugs, Brenda
This is a wonderful mixed media card, Mac! And it's beautifully CAS! I love the combination of the cracked paste and embossing paste. It's so interesting to look at different texture. The gold foil is a fabulous finishing touch. Very clever and unique to stamp the sentiment in brown and then heat-embossed on top in white. The brown ink underneath makes the letters pop even with white (card base)-on-white (heat-embossing). So creative, my friend!

You take our breath away with your talent, Mac! This is a stunning old age work of art. I love all the texture, depth, and nuances of color! I hope you are well and keeping safe! Hugs, Darnell
WOW - what an amazing creation Mac - love the almost medieval effect those colours give, especially with the crackle paste and script. Love it!

OMG, this is absolutely stunning ! What a striking tone on tone card. Love the crackle paste effects, looks like a parchment from the Middle Ages, you know like in The name of the Rose, those precious books made by the monks with pretty illuminations. LOVE it ! Another masterpiece from you !
Wow amazing!! The effect is terrific!!!
What a beauty, Mac ... puts me in mind of illuminated manuscripts! The touch of gold is gorgeous with the neutrals ... and I just want to reach out and touch all that yummy texture! Hugs, Anita :)
You are truly the master of media techniques! I love your double embossed stenciled design here Mac! I can never seem to get a good crackling effect on my projects, but yours looks incredible here! Love the added strip of foiling too! Brilliant!
