Here we are to a brand new challange over Simon Says Stamp!
[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2323″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]I started by using gesso to cover the back side of a small canvas – i let it completely dry and then I used a bunch of Ranger Distress Ink to add a splash of color. I set again aside to dry completely and then I kept adding layers and layers of color.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2322″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]While the canvas was drying, I took a piece of cardstock from the Tim Holtz Collection — and I made this little boat using the origami technique. If I had to do it again, I probably wouldn’t have used a cardstock as some folds were hard to press and I almost ripped some sides of the cardstock….
I distressed the edge with distress ink and added some shadows with distress crayons. Then I covered the front side with Distress Collage Medium Crazing. I fussy cut the image of the young screaming lady from an old print I had around my desk and glued it to the boat.
I used eyelets to embellish the boat and to attach the black Prima Flower wire.
I collaged the big fish using the same cardstock from the Tim Hotlz Collection and also using some tissue wrap paper. With distress crayons I added a splash of color.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2321″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]I added a bit of splashes of color with distress spray stain and then with the hot glue gun I adhered everything together.
I used some floss to emulate the sky…because yes, that is not a boat that is on the sea, this is a boat but also a hot air balloon and the fish “emulate” the hot air balloon……… not sure if it makes sense? LOL! Of course not, right? 😉
I was also driven by this quote : ONLY DEAD FISH GO WITH THE FLOW — This was also the message that I kinda got from the artwork by Malia as the top fishes go on one direction and the bottom ones go on the opposite…I do not know if there is a correlation or not, but this is what my heart thought.
I hope you will find your inspiration to think outside the box and play along with us! Can’t wait to see your creations![/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”2321,2322,2323,2324,2325,2326″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]

tutto è Zoey in questo lavoro! la frase fantastica , tutti i particolari fantastici! Favoloso! Barbara
What a fun idea Zoey and so original! I love the boat with the fish balloon and the girl shouting. And of course the perfect sentiment.
This just shouts out to me and I adore everything about it from the little origami boat to the fishy jumping out of the canvas ~ a brilliant piece of art, Zoey! <3
wow amazing as always Zoey…love your origami boat and that fabulous fish…hugs kath xxx
This is so beautiful and perfect made! I love the sentiment and the shouting girl, what a great idea!!! Hugs, Marzena
Definitely a curiosity! You come up with the most amazing things, Zoey! Totally love the fish air balloon, and that girl’s face certainly catches the eye. I really enjoyed your sharing of how this creation evolved, and now I get the saying!! What a wonderful curiosity!! hugs, maura
This piece can only be created in the mind of a genius, Zoey! I can’t tell you how much I love this and how much it reminds me of my Italian grandmother who never let anyone tell her what to do. Where do you get your ideas?? They are just amazing!!!
Cathie ♥
This is so cool, Zoey! The little girl scares me a bit, but I love it! The folded origami boot is amazing! Hugs, Sandra
