Time just goes so fast and in these challenging times I am grateful for that.
I had fun playing with the Gel Plate and coming up with this card....
Lots of stamping, colouring, fussy cutting and layering of the pretty flower stamp.
After stamping and heat embossing the crackle stamp in gold
I popped on crackle glaze.

The card is full of texture and dimension

Your skills never cease to blow my mind, Mac! It is just such a treat to see what's possible using mixed media - I have no such skills of my own!
LOve this gorgeous sunflower - it indeed shines bright! xx

This is gorgeous Mac and love the gelli plate background in those hot colours, and the gold crackle on the circular mat and the CI flower stamp which looks great layered up over the top and with the same flower black stamped in the background..so inspiring and it certainly shines bright. x
A stunning card Mac, beautifully designed and so much detail to look at. I love the gorgeous flower and your colouring is awesome, Kate x
WOW! Your glaze looks amazing like a thick layer of ice. The mix media background is so multi-layered, it's breathtaking. I have been looking at this multi layered flower for a long time, it is so amazing with all that extra dimension !!! The subdued colors look great and make this card perfect for some lucky guy :-)

OH! My goodness Mac, this is amazing, what wonderful colours and stamps, Super design, shine and the crackle. There is so much to see with every line and shine. Yep! I'm staring long and hard to see what else there is and I have been staring a while I promise you. You know I'm always in awe at your work.
Keep safe

WOW! AMAZING card Mac! I LOVE all the texture you've added to this stunning card. I have just bought some clear crackle from Ranger and hope that it adds crackle similar to your card. It's so beautiful. As always, you always inspire me. Love, Loll
I love all the different textures showing through on this gorgeous card. The colours are just so lovely together. I have been watching a tutorial on making a pattina background as a front cover for a journal book which has inspired me to have a go at making a cover for myself. Hope you are keeping well. Hugs Mrs A.
And thanks so much for joining us at The Flower Challenge, my sweet friend! xx
Wow! This looks beautifully sparkle-full, Mac! Your crackle, colors, glitz, embossing, and fabulous layers look fabulous! Stamped Background are among my faves. There was a day that designer papers did not exist, and it was great fun making our own. This one is breathtaking! Gorgeously done! hugs, de
Brilliant techniques and a great result, love it. Happy creative week, Angela xXx
Crackle Glaze - got to get me some!!
I love this stamp Mac and you have certainly done it justice with this stunning card. x
So beautiful in every way. I love the wonderful colors too.

I am always blown away at your mixed media masterpieces. Incredible texture and dimension as always. You use and combine all the different products so seamlessly and effortlessly. Love it!
Wow, this is gorgeous. I love the warm colors and the use of the crackle glaze. Definitely a lot of fussy cutting, but well worth it when you see the finished product.
So fast and yet slow at the same time!!! Your card is so very rich and textural! I love the colours and the pretty flower. Reminds me of the black eyes susans that are stating to fade in our garden. So pleased to see you having some inky fun:)
This is amazing, Mac! Love that crackle stamping and the wonderful warm colors! Such a pretty dimensional flower too! WOW!

Beautiful! But then again, we expect nothing less of your wonders! Love all the texture and colors
OMG Mac, your cone flower is stunning in all its layers and that gelli print background is gorgeous. So much texture and colour - I love it XX
This flower mixed media card is stunning, Mac! Even though it is a Gel Plate background, it gives me a feeling of a Klimt oil painting.
Love those glossy crackles, the dimension of multiple layers, and the gorgeous colors! Amazing work, as always!

Love all the texture--beautifully artistic, Mac!
Wow - that's amazing. From the fiery sunshine of the background to the dimensional layering of those petals - a wonderful card.
