Uniko is celebrating their 10th Birthday and are having a month long party.
I am joining in with todays card........
Inspired by the colours over at Just Us Girls Teal, Orange & Dark Brown
and using four different stamp sets and one stencil from Uniko ......
I have used Teal coloured sprays for the background.
Because the sprays are re-active I started by using white gesso through the stencil.
Building up the colours with acrylic paints, whilst the stencil was on.
I finished off with stamping the gold petals flying off in the wind,
the gold little circles and the edges of the card.
Because the acrylics are matt and are quite 'flat'
I edged the petals with a gold pen to add a little more 'pop' to the card.
Of course being Lindy's sprays the 'Teal' isn't as pretty in the photos.
I am amazed with all the stormy winds we've been having
that only a few of these petals flew off....lol x.
Thanks for popping in....

Oh, Mac! All I can think to say is WOW! You really did an incredible job on this card! I love the closeup so I can see the gold circles! Excellent job with our colors at Just Us Girls. You nailed it! Thanks for playing!
Gosh what wonderful colours Mac, it's a gorgeous card, I love that fabulous bloom.
Thankfully we have been spared the high winds, but we had a day of snow which felt like we were in the Artic, keep safe, Kate x
Mac... this card is incredible! I read every word carefully and am not sure I could reproduce the effect. The look is amazing. The bits of gold lining the leaves are the perfect touch. Ah, to be a talented mix media cardmaker like you! Thanks for joining us and sharing at Just Us Girls.
Stunning.
Gorgeous stencilled flower over that wonderful sprayed Lindy's background Mac, and know that it must be really full of sparkle and shine, and the gold edge to the petals and the added floating gold petals and embossed edge to the card add even more opulence and beauty. x
And another one, you are spoiling us. This is so vibrant and gorgeous. Such amazing colours and amazing depth to the image. You are clever. I am in the process of entering the Uniko challenge as I really don't want to miss their anniversary month and I have quite a collection of stamps and stencils from them. Hope to join you in the gallery soon xx
Gorgeous gorgeous card here Mac! amazing flower and gold accents too. Thanks for sharing with us over at 'The Flower Challenge' Viv DT xx
I have sooooo missed seeing your amazing creations Mac.
Looking forward to spending HOURS catching up (and drooling!) xx
Absolutely incredible, love it so much!
Great texture and elements here -- and I would call this beautiful card anything but flat! The gold does make a beautiful tip to the flowers, and a good mix with the embossing
Just stunning, Mac! That flower looks amazing!
Beautiful work always looks amazing. xx
Ohhhh, Mac, this is gorgeous. Loving the rich colours and textures. bThe gold is perfect to highlight the flower.
Stay safe
Blessings

Another stunning card!!! I'm thrilled!!!
Another inspired creation Mac, a colour palette I too enjoy using and so tactile one feels the need to reach out and touch it.

Here I am again to see another beautiful card. I love the contrast of colours on this one and the touch of gold is just perfect x
Wow, wow, wow! This card is gorgeous Mac! I love the teal color on your background, it might be more vivid in person, but it is sure looking pretty darn good in photo as well. I just love it! Your stenciled flower is stunning, loving the colors you used, it pops right off that teal background. The outlining with the gold pen was a fabulous idea, love how that looks and I love your petal's floating off in the wind. The gold edging makes the teal pop and really makes the eye come right into the card. I just love this card! Yes, same here, that poor flower would have looked like it was trampled by a herd of steers from the wind here. lol Hugs, Brenda
Ha! I only wish I could have caught the 'tail of the wind' and hitched a ride over the pond, Mac!
This gorgeous number has brought so much brightness to my very grey morning - love that Uniko Chrysanthemum! You've provided it with such a gorgeous home!
Beverley is going to love it, my friend! I do, too! xx

This is a gorgeous card, Mac. The flower with that shading is so pretty and the background is so unique. The combination made a stunning card.
Again! a WOW! and very beautiful card Mac, I love the teal and the flower colouring is outstanding. sigh!

Striking card, Mac! Your incorporation of many different products and techniques is always so impressive… and this one is proof of that.
So beautiful. The more I look at it the more I appreciate all the extra details. I love the gold edging and then I’ve spotted the lovely white embossed sentiment. Of course the background and the chrysanthemum are gorgeous too! Thanks for joining in with Uniko’s 10th birthday celebrations. X
What stunning use of those colours!! Such a gorgeous vibrant card!
Beautiful card Mac your choice of images are just perfect with these colours. That touch of gold just finishes the design perfectly. Happy creative week xXx
Spectacular! I love this colour combo so much! I can see the beautiful shine too:)
A beautiful use of these colors, Mac! I'm sure that background has a wonderful shimmer from the Lindys and the flower is GORGEOUS! I love the orange with the gold outlines! Glad more of those gorgeous petals didn't blow in the wind!
Doesn't look like the winds bothered the flower at all Mac...it's absolutely GORGEOUS!! Loving ALL the gold you've added, and the teal and orange combination is SO pretty together!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Another week goes by and you join us again at Just Us Girls with this sensationally beautiful creation Mac. I'm loving all this creativity you have produced lately and we are all loving it. You really nailed my challenge colours here with so much depth and beautiful sparkle. And once again you have your signature gold edging. Oh more swooning.

OMG!! Now that a teal and orange/gold card in the most magnificent way. It's so fabulous!! My typing is awful and some of the words that appear with my gammy hand are so funny so I apologise if I've made errors. Thank you for your kind wishes too my friend... much appreciated
Wow Mac! I just love the deepness of that wonderful teal background and the beautiful colors on your gorgeous stenciled bloom! Wonderful action added with the flying gold petals and various splattery bits! The gold edging on card and bloom really set it all off nicely! xx
A brilliant artwork Mac! I love the touches of the gold along with the flying petals! That bloom makes me say "WOW!" Thanks for the wonderful inspiration friend!
This is truly amazing and I'm late to visit again, as always. Still, it's a treat to see it now. The colors are so lovely (a favorite combo), and the gold, the splattery background... all a work of art!
Brilliant card love the teal background and gorgeous stencilled chrysanthemum with gold edges

Another amazing card, Mac! Love the wonderful use of the challenge colors, and the dynamic movement of the petals! Edging the petals with a gold pen enhances the liveliness of the Chrysanthemum. I always admire your care and attention to detail!
