Tracey has chosen a bright and very fun color combination for the new Color Hues challenge.
I have to admit I do purchase products specifically because I think they'll do well with a two color challenge. In early July I won an Altenew gift card and waited for a sale before spending it. One of the items I purchased was the Geo Tiles Cover Die, and I do think it works well for a two color challenge. An added bonus is that I ended up with two cards.
The first challenge was to find the right hues of tangerine and violet. I decided on two Papertrey Ink papers: Orange Zest and Amethyst Allure. After die cutting the cover panel, I added them to a card base from the opposite color and inlaid all the circles. Interestingly, the purple circles looked best on both cards, so I had to die cut one more purple panel.
The sentiment on both cards is also from a new purchase, Pinkfresh Studio's Basic Banners: Celebrate. I knew as soon as it was released that I wanted it but waited long enough that it went out of stock, so I had to wait awhile. I love the fact that the sentiments are all on one stamp, and then one die cuts them out with a variety of banner shapes. It will get a lot of use.
They didn't photograph particularly well, but I added gold pearls to the centers of each circle.
I hope you'll have as much fun with this challenge as I have, and will join us in the gallery. Be sure to check out the fabulous designs by the DT and our Guest Designer.
I'm also adding this to Darnell's NBUS Challenge as nothing I used for these cards has ever been used before.
