Time Stands Still for Smudgy Antics


I'm so loving the challenges at Smudgy Antics and this week's "Time Stands Still" really touched me.  Been working on this one for awhile, smiling all the time, lost in a memory.  I've used Smeared Ink's romantic Dance with Death 2 drawn by my HDH teamie Ike.  LOVE it! The fussy cutting, not so much.  LOL  But I really, really, REALLY wanted the dimension here.

The fab DP is from the DCWV Tattered Time Stack.  Sentiment is computer generated and inked with distress.  The mini gears are from Tim Holtz.  Hopefully you can see the dimension a bit better in this shot.  Just sort of squeaking this one in, but it was a labor of love.

Can you remember that perfect moment when time stood still?  Mine is forever etched in my mind, my heart, my very soul.

Oh, and BTW.
Now's your chance.  Wooho!

  19. I love your concepts...your insights on a scene when you create and how you convey your thoughts when you tell us about it. THIS is memory-laden, I think, for everyone because we all have that "moment in time" in our life. You brought mine to the surface this morning.
    Hugs dear friend.
