Today we start a new colour duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge. My fabulously talented teammate Marcia has chosen the bold duo of Purple & Marigold for this challenge.The team over at Color Hues have knocked it out of the park again along with our guest designer Chris.
My reflex was to go to a floral with these colours but I have the Spellbinders Made With Love craft dies on my desk begging to be used.
For my colourful apron I chose to work with hues of marigold the palest was embossed with the Spellbinders Confection 3D Embossing folder. I used a medium and darker hue of marigold for the apron oven mitts. I used neutrals of kraft and brown for my chocolate chip cookies.
Die cuts were added to the card with a combination of thin and ultra thin foam squares. I love that you can use them independently or layer them up gives you the ability to elevate your dimension game!
I hope you head over to visit the Color Hues blog to see what my teammates have done! I hope to see you play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Such a fun take on the purple and marigold combo. The apron and cookies are a really creative idea, and the embossed details add such nice texture to the card. www.melodyjacob.com
Awwwww...I just LOVE this card Tracey (even though you're making me hungry for a chocolate chip cookie!)!! What a FUN set to play with and I love all the different hues of the marigold that you used along with the purple! Sweet, sweet card my friend and thanks so much for making my colors SHINE!! Hugs. :0)
What a fun way to use these colors, Tracey! I can almost smell the cookies baking in your fun kitchen!
Love your sweet polka dotty apron! This is cute, Tracey!
It's so much fun to find new products that can be used right away--and I think you'll find lots of color combinations to use with them. They worked wonderfully with marigold and purple!
Such a fun use of the colours Tracey, love those chocolate chip cookies and that fab EF in the background too. :)
That looks like a fun set to work with, Tracey, and the colors look great for the apron and mitts. I love that you varied the hues to give it more interest.
I'm very happy you resisted the flowers - I'm a big fan of your chocolate chip cookies and really fun kitchen 'accessories!'

Oh this is such fun, especially on a snow flurry day. Though I am now craving a cookie or two.
I was tickled to death to see that you used this collection for this challenge. I adore this so much! I know this collection will bring you lots of joy! HUGS!
Such a fun card with those great diecuts! Certainly was a good choice for the colors, too!
This is so cute!! I LOVE the dies you used. I have these dies but have not broken them out yet!!
Good choice to go with this fabulous die set, Tracey! I LOVE your layout and how you varied the colors for each piece. The matching embossed background is perfect to bring it all together. Such a "sweet" card!
Oh what fun baking dies! Love the embossed background and all the shades of the marigold you used!
