emilymomto3boys · 06-14-2005, 07:00 AM

Okay, MamaK is here and told me to post this for her. The color combo challenge is orchid opulence and going gray!!!

If ya hate it, talk to her!!

JKinAK · 06-14-2005, 07:10 AM

Two colors I almost never use. Now THIS is a challenge!Janice

Jami · 06-14-2005, 07:14 AM

Uh...it doesn't sound good, but I'll trust MamaK and try it. I'll reserve judgement until then.

Julia S · 06-14-2005, 07:23 AM

This should be interesting! I had wanted to try last week's challenge, but never got around to it. Hopefully this week, I can make at least one.

ADK · 06-14-2005, 07:44 AM

Can we use an accent color with it, like confettie white or confetti cream, or US white, or Vanilla??

emilymomto3boys · 06-14-2005, 07:50 AM

Yes you may use a neutral with it.

Here's mine!

Once again two colors I don't have. Hmmm What does this tell me? I need to order more cardstock! LOL

Tampersay · 06-14-2005, 08:44 AM

But which shade of Orchid Opulance?

Got mine done

LOL Tampersay!

CardFanatic · 06-14-2005, 09:04 AM

I'm back from my errands to find orchid opulence and going gray? Hmmmm. Not sure about this. I have card stock but no ink. Hmmm. This will be a real challenge. But that's what this is about!

CardFanatic · 06-14-2005, 10:15 AM

This is what I came up with. I used black as the neutral. I think it probably would have looked better with a hint of ballet blue. Not sure.

wyokat · 06-14-2005, 10:40 AM

Hmmm........I have NEVER used orchid opulence. EVER.

Now, why couldn't they retire THAT color?!

Sounds like a true challenge for me!

NaomiLynne · 06-14-2005, 10:46 AM

THanks for the color challenge, it was really fun! Now if only I had more going grey paper...... I'll just add it to my list for my first July order I guess. Can't wait for the new cattie to arrive!

I liked this combo, It is one I'd probably use myself, although I may add a few more colors to accent. Thanks for the challenge!

rsdreyer · 06-14-2005, 11:35 AM

OK, I happen to like these colors together. So here is mine. I used the aquapainter with the ink pad to watercolor the flower. I then took the marker and highlighted the flower. I also highlighted or shadowed the flower with the gray ink pad and aquapainter. Enjoy!!!

I was looking forward to playing today but sadly have no Orchid Opulence.
Will try next week. Can't wait to see everyone's artwork!

Darttella · 06-14-2005, 01:15 PM

Here's Mine!

BTW, I love this color combo!!

Tampersay · 06-14-2005, 01:22 PM

I wasn't crazy about this combination until I started playing with it.

Here's mine:
Gray Peace

JusColorado · 06-14-2005, 03:24 PM

Here's mine. I like this combo although I virtually never use either of these colors. Now maybe I will?

CardFanatic · 06-14-2005, 04:24 PM

Wow! These are some awesome cards, today! I'm so glad you challenge us with colors and combinations we don't normally use, mamak. Thanks.

lizb · 06-14-2005, 05:58 PM

TLC16 finally got me to try Valerie's Definition Sheets. I have made a few backgrounds but this is the only card so far. I also want to thank Kaylyn Butler Conover who posted the RGB codes for all the S-U colors allowing me to tailor my definitions to match the cardstock. This card combines TLC16 with CC14:

This was a fun challenge.

dpierstamper · 06-14-2005, 07:19 PM

Like my momma always said gray and black go with everything, of course she was talking wardrobe. I like these two together. Here's my card.

I was able to post 2 for the challenge. I don't really like the 1st one, and will probably try to reconfigure it but I thought I would post it for the challenge. I think the 2nd turned out okay. Enjoy!

Ok, my first CC....

Here it is

evelky · 06-15-2005, 04:31 AM

Here's my card. The vellum didn't show up on the scanner, so I am a little bummed about that.

(pending as of 8:30am Wednesday)

Farmwife · 06-15-2005, 07:38 AM

Good morning, I did this card late last night. I forgot to put in the description that I used pop-ups on some of the flowers. The scanner really did a good job of flattening out the flowers. Looks much better in person. Hope you enjoy!

Could you send me the link to the RGB codes? I could really use them for my scrapbooking. Thanks!

Shel9999 · 06-15-2005, 10:20 AM

Here's mine. I have to admit I never (NEVER) would have put these colors together! But that's why I really like these color challenges! Thanks, MamaK.

jacksonbelle · 06-15-2005, 10:36 AM

This is my first effort at a challenge of any kind. Just happen to like these two colors together. Hope this link works. Tried to figure out how to do that on my own.

raduse · 06-15-2005, 03:46 PM

Here's my first color challenge. This was fun!

Did another that I combined with the Sketch challenge for this week:

Sketch and Color Combo

kayinrd · 06-15-2005, 05:57 PM

I was a bit sceptical of these colours, but they actually look really nice together (and I actually have these colours!!!)My Colour Combo Card here

Jace · 06-15-2005, 06:20 PM

I'm a big orchid opulence gal, but I've never put it with gray before - I like it!

Thanks, Emily and MamaK!
