Anna Lift, 10 Years

I’ve been noodling on this Anna Lift since it was posted and have been in awe of the posts to it. I finally was able to use the Easy Torn Edges Template. I don’t know why I was making it so hard; it really is easy.

We brought Tilly home from the pound 10 years ago this month. We had gone the day before to check out another very feral dog Ron wanted to see, which at first glance I didn’t like at all. So, I went inside to check out the rest. As I walked up and down the aisles of cages, most of the dogs were making a terrible ruckus, which I also wasn’t interested in. And then I got to the last cage, there was 6 mo. old Tilly. She just stood there and watched me. I put the back of my hand up to the fence, and she calmly walked up and nuzzled against it the best she could. And that was how she chose us! We wanted to sleep on it but couldn’t wait to go back the next day and get her. We were worried someone else might. The small photo is when she knew she was coming home with us.

The right-side photo of Tilly was placed full size on a 12x12 foundation. The left side photo was clipped to the Easy Torn Edges mask, aligning them as close as possible. Some masking was done on the mask, torn edge and shadow layers. Thin Strips masks were arranged on the right side to get the best coverage. At this point, two Jouissance papers were placed below the photos and blended. Both groups of photos/masks were selected and transformed smaller and moved to make room for title/elements, and the FotoInspired frame/lace. The small photo was extracted, APP Sugar transfers and Manly paper clipped between the photo and mask. Completed with journaling, Jouissance paint, transfers, splatters, a custom title with MM City 1-1 and glows behind word art.

This is so sweet, and a wonderful use of the torn edges and neutral colors to tell the story. Cher has been with us for 9 years, adopted when she was 1, so they're about the same age. It's funny unless you watch a dog closely you might not even know how they age. Love the puppy photo!
Yes, that's so true about showing age. Tilly has been the best dog, except for the shedding. OMG, she sheds 10X more than any dog we've ever owned. The weekly vacuuming would almost fill a 1-gallon jug. How's that for a visual.
 
Absolutely glorious design and story and that happy photo of a smiling Tilly is the icing on the cake. I love the torn edges. I really love your torn-edge treatment--haven't worked with them yet, but we recently lost a grand-cat to cancer and I have been thinking about how to best accomplish a tribute page. I think you have given me all the inspiration I need. <3
Thanks so much! Glad I could help :). And so sorry for your loss.
 
It's always interesting to see how our members react to such heartwarming stories. Many are attentive and touched. Like me! I'm grateful that there are people who can go to a shelter and pick out a dog. I couldn't do that. I couldn't leave without taking the others whose stories I haven't heard yet. I hope you have a great time together :heartpumppink:
 
This is simply amazing and I am so happy that story was a happy one! The torn paper is very effective as the before/after split.
I had the same experience with one of my rescues-- it was clear that she chose us, not the other way around ♥
Belly rubs to your pretty girl!
