Trying to think outside the box, I went with the idea of sunshine reflecting off of glass!
I stamped Deep Red's NYC Times Square onto watercolor paper with Archival ink. Smeared some white acrylic paint onto the areas where I wanted the glare to be - the windshields and some of the buildings. Let it dry then applied some watercolor in backwards ROYGBIV manner. Let the panel dry and then added Glossy Accents over the painted areas which had resisted the watercolor. Ta da! Glare!
To finish off my mixed media card, I stenciled some embossing paste through a stencil (thanks Loll!) and added some checkered cab images (Artemio New York City) in black. My heat embossed sentiment is from STAMPlorations Artful Flutters.
Hope you like my take on "Reflections". Would love to see yours!!!! The gallery is open through May 25th.
I'm hooking up at the Anything Goes challenge over at SSS Wednesday Challenge. See ya there ;)

Clever interpretation of the theme! Love that stamp and the way you coloured it, and the NY taxi tape and tyre tread-looking embossing are the perfect embellishments! Fabuloso!
