Optical Illusion

 Janelle's challenge was illusions. You can find it here. MIX687: Illusions (3/27/26) by dizzymommie at Splitcoaststampers
I punched out dark colors with a 1 1/4" circle punch. Then I punched out a light color to go with each dark color circle. The circles in the center were cut in half. The corner circles were cut into quarters. I attached the light colored partial circles to the dark circles. Then I lined the circles up so it looked like a square in the middle. I stamped the sentiment then colored my stamp with a Stampin' Write marker and stamped the accents next to the sentiment.

That is an amazing effect, it looks as if you had laid a square of vellum over it!
It reminded me of a present my dad gave me when I was in hospital on my 5th birthday, it was a clear perspex cube but inside it were the sheets of different coloured plastic at different angles to each other, so depending which way you looked through it you saw different colours.

This is absolutely genius. I thought that you had put a square of vellum over them. I love your originality.

What?! You didn't lay vellum over it?? You are a magician. It is beyond awesome.
