Yes, yes, I know, I am posting the second card in a row on a kraft card base but it is not my fault if that seems to works best with my elements...
If you wander regularly about in blog land you probably know that Uniko is celebrating it's 6th birthday! Bev, the owner is so sweet and she does it all alone while also taking care of little, active twin boys! One of the celebrations is a birthday linky party where we can upload birthday cards. Even though we are not required to use Uniko products, I wanted to play with the gorgeous lily again, a stamp set that I won last year.

Stamps: Uniko (lily), My Favorite Things (background), PTI (sentiment)
I stamped the lily on Bristol paper, colored it using my Akashiya Sai watercolor brush pens and fussy cut it. On the kraft card base I stamped the wood plank background using kraft ink from My Favorite Things and added some embossed splatters. The sentiment was stamped on a scrap of vellum and embossed with SSS Antique Gold embossing powder which goes well with the kraft, I think. The funny thing is that I thought I had ordered the Rose Gold embossing powder and was really surprised when my order came and I held Antique Gold in my hands! I checked my order and, sure enough, what had been on my wish list all along was Antique Gold and not the Rose Gold and I hadn't looked closely when I put it in my cart. Anyway I do like the Antique Gold, too and will just order the Rose Gold next time. This all just to say that it was not Simon's fault!
Challenges:

Hi Susanne i love your lily card,the colour is so pretty,well done my friend on a beautiful finish xx
Oh wow--your coloring is stunning, Susanne! I do love those colors on kraft & the gold embossed splatters are a wonderful element! I could send you 1/2 my rose gold & you could send me 1/2 your antique gold! Used to do that with a friend here--still have tons of my 1/2 of the PearlX we shared!
Liebe Susanne,
dein Kärtchen ruft regelrecht den Frühling hervor. Ganz
toll. Die kräftigen Farben tue so gut. Leider ist hier bei uns alles noch Grau in Grau.
Liebe Grüße Katrin
Stunning card. I love the simplicity of your design, and the beautiful way you colored your flower. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.
Beautiful lily, Susanne! Great watercolouring and fussy-cutting. The lily does look fantastic on the kraft background. Love the heat embossed splatters. I have seen Rose Gold embossing powder on someone else's blog is it's so pretty. Will need to get some for myself. :) xx
Wow, die Farben leuchten und der leicht dunkle Hintergrund unterstützt diese Wirkung noch!!
LG Gundi
Fantastic colouring on that beautiful Lily Susanne! Love the subtle texture from the background stamp and that antique gold sentiment compliments everything so well, serendipity! Have a great week my friend! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx

Bold and beautiful, Susanne! Wonderful colours and watercolouring. Rose gold ep is on my wish list too.
As I mentioned on IG, your lily is breath-taken-away gorgeous! Setting it atop the kraft/woodgrain really enhances its stunning colour. Love this!

A bold and beautiful lily, Susanne! I love the gorgeous shading with yellow and orange! Nothing is more perfect for the lily than this wood plank stamped craft background. Hideko xx

Beautifully coloured and loving the vibrancy of the colours against the kraft card. Lovely to see you enjoying your Uniko goodies & thanks so much for joining in on the Uniko 6th Birthday fun. Hugs Bev x
Susanne, when I saw your bright coloured "Pure Florals - Lily" it made me think of sunshine and summertime outside in my garden where I planted some of these beauties... Your fantasitc choice of colours combined with this CAS layout ended in a beautyful birthday card!
