Fuchsia and Navy for Color Hues

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues.


This month my dear friend Nanc' picked our colors.  She chose....


Now Fuchsia is not a color I would normally use so I had to hunt to find something
to help me with this color.  Fortunately my Twimarkers set has a Fuchsia marker.
Problem solved in the most delightful way.

After coloring the die cuts, I popped them on an embossed piece of navy.
Love that contrast!

Now let's go and see what my talented friends and our have done to inspire you.


I hope you'll create a card using Fuchsia & Navy and add it to the gallery at


You can use any hue of these two colors.

Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on April 14th.

So pretty, the fuchsia pink blooms pop against the navy background. :)

Your perky flowers are lovely in fuchsia, Bonnie, and the leaves actually look like they could be new buds.

Beautiful CAS design letting the floral take center stage. I am happy your markers came to the rescue. I love the delicate butterfly too.

I LOVE fuschia (and the color), so your twi-marker hit the mark! Gorgeous card and colors, it's wonderful to step out of comfort zones

This card is amazing! The color combination is truly dramatic; the navy blue beautifully highlights the fuchsia. Your flowers look wonderful; that marker did a fantastic job. I admire how beautifully you shaded these flowers. It's a truly beautiful card.

I think fuchsia is a beautiful color and I would have to think which of my many pink inks would give me the right shade. Your flowers certainly turned out beautiful and the contrast against navy blue is striking!

Beautiful card with those lovely fuchsia perky flowers against the embossed navy background. Your coloring looks fabulous as always. Love that cute butterfly fluttering around the pretty flowers. The curved die cut at the bottom is a perfect spot for the sentiment.

I love how fuschia pops on a navy background, too. Definitely plan to use this combo again. Love the look of your sweet flowers and the addition of the butterfly!
