Here we are to a brand new challange over Simon Says Stamp!
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2869″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I took a piece of Tim Holtz paper and with a spatula I added a bit of Gesso. I applied it randomly and I let it dry. I did the same thing with a couple of ephemeras. As the gesso was drying I die cut the beautiful globo dies from a piece of watercolor paper. I stamped over it with a bunch of stamps. I wasn’t going for a precise look, I just used the first stamps I could reach and added texture with archival ink.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2868″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I glued everything down and then I started adding colors. I used distress paint and a blending tool to apply the color to my background. This process took a couple of hours — yes I know this might be the first time I take so much time to color, but i wanted to have fun and carefully place the colors over my backrgound…weird coming from me I know!! Anyway, once I was satisfied with the backrgound I let it dry.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2870″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I added some stitches around the art journal page and then across the page. I used a black watercolor pencil to add shadows and a white gel pen to add highlights.
I colored the crinkled ribbon with distress paint and with the heat tool I dried it. I attached it to the tag with tiny staples by Tim Holtz.
To add even more texture and interest to the background I used some rub ons and some white and brown splashes of paint and distress stain.
I want to share with you a quote that I really like : “We will never forget of what has never happened”. I love this quote, even if it might sound sad, but to tell you the truth, I think this is a powerful quote that needs to remind us that we never have to let chances go… 🙂
have a great week everyone![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”2860,2861,2862,2863,2864,2865,2866,2867,2868,2869,2870″ img_size=”large”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

Mi ero persa questo progetto…mano male che ho recuperato il post.
Cavolo… quanti dettagli… è davvero bello. Un progetto, permettimi il termine, introspettivo che racconta tanto di questa tua vacanza…
Ciaoooo
Vale
Beautiful work – love the texture thanks for sharing!!!
an amazing collage of texture and detail and I love the stitching…hugs kath xxx
Wow Zoey, that background is SO cool! I love all the wonderful textures, details and shape. And the boat at the bottom.
Wow, Zoey…this is amazing and I love all that texture on the background, it’s to die for! Beautiful, detailed work as always… <3
I really love this page, Zoey! The stitching gives it such a cool dimension. So much details in the background! Very pretty! Hugs, Sandra
Zoe, I am so in love with your art work! I really wish you would create a video or step by step tutorial on one of pieces sometime! I would love to learn from you!
Stunning piece as they all are!
hugs,Jackie “)
This is a really cool project! It is very unique and original and has so many components that I love. I especially like your technique of coloring inside your stitched shapes. This is truly a work of art!
Really cool piece, Zoey! Such a rich and deep background – love all the things you incorporated into it like the tag and ribbon. I like your quote – if we don’t do things, we won’t have the memories of them. I bet your life now is richer because of the time you took for yourself! hugs, Maura
gorgeous project with so many wonderful rich colors and layers! Nice to take a “me” vacation:)
What an awesome background, Zoey! The colors are great and the stitching is such a nice added touch! 🙂

Simon Says Stamp!
I adore your background, Zoey! There are so many details and elements that create the perfect mood of how you were feeling. You have a gift in the ability to give not only beauty to your art, but emotion as well. Brilliant!
Oh what a gorgeous background you created, it was worth every minute you spent on it, it has a lovely ‘moody’ feel to it and I love the stitching you added to bring out some of the detail! The pop of colour in the ribbon draws the eye in beautifully! I really love the way you do your photographs too! A beautiful piece of art! Anne xx
This is unbelievable pretty! It was worth all those hours you spent on making the background because it’s fabulous! I love the stitching across the pages, I can even see a small boat on the bottom of the page made with stitching. And the quote of never forget is trully fantastic. Hugs, Marzena
Gorgeous journal page Zoey 🙂 the background is amazing! I spent ages admiring the colours, textures and whole design of this, stunning! 🙂
luv
