the answer




It's another Friday...livin' for the weekend, right?  Sometimes the answer is a resounding Yes!

There's a new challenge category over on SCS Fridays that is called Mix-ability.  It is all about
mixed media...a way to get your feet or rather fingers dirty with a multitude of techniques.  This
is the third week and today it's called 'What's white and read all over'.  It uses white space and text
in our work.  Bonus to find a way to use the color red.








This sentiment has me thinking about more forward 'looking'.  And so a mirror seemed to be the perfect image.  It is from a long gone local rubber stamp man...though you might be able to find it at Stamp Francisco.  I embossed
it with clear powder and popped it slightly from the card base.  Mirrored paper was placed under into the frame. I masked the
sentiment so I could place the 'punchline'
under the mirror.

Red tule seemed the perfect accent as well as
an eyelet edge.  All long stashed supplies.




It's a very grey day here and my photographing was not at it's best, but I did like this next image that
captured my shadow.  I am off to ponder...have a wonderful weekend, all!
