Optical Illusion Card

Hey Everybody,
Today I have a very different kind of card for you. it is for an optical illusion challenge.  Janelle's challenge was illusions. You can find it here. I know this looks like I put a square piece of vellum over the circles, but I promise I didn't.


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.
Keywords: MIX687
Stamps: Paradise Garden
Paper: white, poppy parade
Paper Size: A2
Ink: Blackberry Bliss
Accessories: 1 1/4" circle punch, Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Write marker
Techniques: coloring on stamps, illusions

So, what do you think? Isn't it a cool technique?  I didn't come up with it myself. When I saw the challenge of optical illusions I googled it.  Here are a few videos that can help you if you'd like to do the same card, or something different.

Have fun with it, I did.  
So glad you stopped by today. I pray you had a blessed Easter.  Our Easter was quiet as the kids were celebrating with other side of the family today. We will celebrate tomorrow. I am happy anytime we can get together. I especially like that no one has anywhere else to go so they don't have to eat and run.

If we celebrated Easter Sunday that's what would have happened.
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
Sue
