This is Karolina's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your fabulous makes over the past month! It has been such a great pleasure to have you along with us!
I blended Peeled Paint and Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Inks over the background and inked a Botanical Background Stamp with Green Apple and Green Leaf Inks.
I wanted to add some more interest and colours, and I also wanted to use my new Funky Florals Die Set so I blended some Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin and the green oxide inks I used previously onto some watercolour card and die cut the flowers.
I sprayed some repositionable adhesive spray onto the back of a Simon's Exclusive Leafy Frame Stencil to make sure that it was well applied to the Watercolor Paper and then used Distress Resist Spray to completely cover the paper. When it was dry I used the same green oxide inks for the frame, I love how this has turned out!
I finished with a Snarky Small Talk Sticker and some machine stitching around the edges and a little zig zag to 'ground' the plant ;-)
I simply finished the inside to coordinate with the front, not worth photographing though ;-)
Did you know that 'Not my circus, not my monkeys' is a Polish proverb?
Nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy :-)
I used Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink and Clear Embossing Powder for his specs and a scrap of Tim Holtz paper for his waistcoat. I think he looks quite trendy! What do you think!?
I have to say I love this card and am sorely tempted to keep this one for me ;-)
Thanks for looking!

Stopppittt! So cool, or should I say *hip*?! Your framing of this card is nothing short of professional, and the dimension achieved rocks! You'll have to make another to share with a friend of you keep this because it is too radical. Thanks for sharing at SOS this week.

This is such a great project! I love how you perfectly mixed subtle elements with bright bold colors, too. This has elegance from the botanical components and a lot of oomph from the hipster! I also really like the square shape you used to frame the whole thing out.
A great card and love how you've used the cheeky chimp in that frame, he looks right at home surrounded by all that greenery! x
Such a fabulous card! I love the botanical background that you created and your handsome hipster monkey and the fun quote made me smile 😁. Happy weekend! J 😊 x
woohoo, great minds think alike. Love how you framed that cheeky chimp with fabulous stamped greenery and I love those flowers peeking out and the use of the perfect sentiment hugs kath xxx
