Colour shifting magic!

 A little while ago, I was lucky enough to win a dot card of iridescent and glittery watercolours from Iuile. I decided to use them on this background stamp from Gina K Designs. I'm still surprised at how different the colours look from different angles! Have a look at the holly leaves in the 1st pic compared to the 2nd pic - they're all painted in the same colour, but in different light, they look grey, green, teal or blue!
