just what I love, flipping through a fashion magazine seeing unrealistic shaped models wearing out of the stratosphere priced clothes that will NEVER be seen in the community in which I live. But I DO appreciate the art of the AD's. Thanks Sabrina, for giving me another reason to flip through the latest magazine in the break room. I actually loved this Fontainebleau ad, of which I 'lifted' the shades only.
The reflection in the lenses, one in crisp focus and one out of focus spoke to me. I hope you will see the irony as well. Sometimes we have to move slightly to see the true picture (or person). The Mark Twain quote:
You cannot depend on your eyes
when your imagination is out
of focus.
I off stamped until I ran out of paper. And then used
Washi tape to mark the date. There is more fun Washi
tape running across the inside of the card.
Have a fantastically focused day, my artful friends.
Excuse me while I go clean my spectacles.

The way you did the quote and stamped off through the edge of the card sure fits the "out of focus". Love the graphic look of the card. Those glasses are very cool!

You could not have created a more perfect way to illustrate that fantastic sentiment! Sometimes (most times) your cards creatively reach out and kick one's derrière. This is AWESOME!
