Color Hues #130-Fuchsia and Navy

Hello Friends,

Nancy here, and I am so happy to be your hostess for this April 1st challenge. I don't have any funny pranks to pull on you today, but I guarantee my hubby will give it a try, but I am ready for it. 😆 When he was teaching art, he always pulled pranks on the kids, and they loved his sense of humor.

Before I get to the fabulous cards by the Design Team using the colors of Fuchsia and Navy, I want to do a very friendly reminder. When you are creating for Color Hues, unfortunately, the color Green is NOT one of our Acceptable Neutrals.

We know that when creating with florals, it is natural to want to add green into your design, but the entire point of our color challenge is to think outside the box and stretch the imagination.

There is a list of our neutrals on our blog under Guidelines, but I am going to list them here as well, as a reminder.

Our Neutrals are: (white, black, grey, kraft, brown, cream, and metallics.) Please remember that these are accent colors and must not be the focal colors of your design.

Now that I got that out of the way, let's go see what my talented Design Team did with this color combo!

Our Design Team:

Marcia

The challenge will be open until April 14th!

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall

winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Most importantly, just have fun!

Winner's Post #129-Purple and Marigold

Hello friends! Marcia here, and I just want to take a moment here first to say thank you to each and every one of you who entered the PURPLE & MARIGOLD color challenge here at Color Hues! You all truly blew me away with your creative takes on these two bright & bold colors, and it really was hard to pick just one winner and three runner-ups! But choose I must, so here we go...

Congratulations

Color Hues #129 Purple and Marigold

Hello friends. Marcia here, and it's only a few more days till it's officially SPRING and I am so ready for it!! Some of the first color that shows up for us here in Michigan are the Crocus and the few that I have in my front yard are Purple and Marigold (a deep yellow). For the next two weeks, let's celebrate Spring and fill the gallery with lots of bright color! We deserve it after a loooooong Winter! Remember to only use PURPLE & MARIGOLD and neutrals on your cards. And don't stress about your colors...hues of each color are acceptable. The DT and our Special GD Chris have all outdone themselves with some fabulous inspiration that we hope will inspire you all to play along! Have fun!!

Winner's Post #128-Green and Gold

Hello, what a wonderful gallery of Green & Gold cards! I was delighted by the variety of occasions that were used. Such creativity! I loved looking through the gallery to see all the diverse layouts and styles. It made it very difficult, as usual, to choose the winners, but that's my job this time. Take a look.

Congratulations-Fran Wing

Color Hues #128-Green and Gold

Greetings, Karen here!

It’s hard to believe that it’s March 1st already! Time is just flying by. I’m delighted to be the hostess for the new Color Hues Challenge. I chose Green and Gold—but don’t think it needs to be a St. Patrick’s Day card. In fact, when you check out the Design Team's creations, you’ll see many fabulous ways to interpret this color combo. Above all, just have fun!

Before we get to the wonderful inspiration below, I want to welcome Darnell and Donna to the blog today. They are our honorary guests as they were both previous challenge winners. So happy to have you both designing with us!
