Not my Circus by Donna Gray

Hi everyone,


Donna here today with a funky monkey from Katzelkraft, isn’t he just a cutie?!







What to do:


Apply a thin coat of Gesso to the larger That’s Crafty! MDF heart, dry thoroughly.

Stamp the monkey onto the heart using black Archival ink and then proceed to smear a selection of Gelatos around the monkey.

Place a Dinky stencil over the Gelatos and start removing some of the colour via a moist baby wipe gently dabbed through the stencil.

Next step is to colour in the monkey using a selection of Distress Markers, add some Stickles to his belly for a little bit of bling.

Stamp randomly on the background with some Carabelle stamps.

The 2 smaller hearts were painted with a red Fresco paint, stamped with a Katzelkraft circles stamp, edged with Stickles and the fab Tim Holtz sentiment added…..appropriate I thought!!

Mount the smaller hearts to the larger one, stamp the Carabelle stamp under the monkey so he has something to ‘sit on’, then draw a couple of black lines so it appears he’s holding the small hearts, use a white pen for the little highlights.

Love this little Zen monkey, peace and love with attitude!



Supplies Used:


Katzelkraft Stamp Sets – Les Jungles and Les Rondes
Carabelle Sudio Stamp Sets – Follow your Heart, Bloom and Dancing in the Rain


Hope you like it
