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.
Karen, I have had my eye on this Geo tiles die!! You’ve just proven the reason why!
Gorgeous in these colors!

This die is another new one on me but as you say perfect for a two colour challenge! It looks great in either colour as you say. 🙂
When I saw these in the gallery I fell in love!I love how you use the inverse to make two cards and that Geo Tiles die might find it’s way home to me! You have a way of helping me shop–lol!
WOW, that die is fabulous for rocking this challenge, Karen! Good for you for using your gift card win so wisely, and making two gorgeous cards!
These are fun and fabulous, Karen! I am always intrigued to see what you are going to make with the next round of colors.
Two-fers are always wonderful!!! These are so fun and vibrant!
Karen, your Geo Tile cards are absolutely awesome – and having a twofer makes them even more so. Perfect choices for violet and tangerine, as well. I need to check out this die; it seems incredibly versatile.

Karen, you showcased this die so well with your two terrific cards! I especially love the touch of the gems at the circle centers, adding a bit of sparkle for the birthday celebration. I have this die and you’ve definitely inspired me to use it in for a future CH challenge…I’ll check in first to make sure we don’t both use it lol!
