CC151: Making yo yo yellow look GOOD!

[emilymomto3boys]

Yep, you read that right! This week, y'all are going to make yo yo yellow look GOOD! Seriously! This combo was suggested by jacqueline and I have to admit, I was quite skeptical when I read it. But her card was lovely and I think she made it work! So here ya go! GOOD LUCK!

CC151:

Yo Yo Yellow

Going Gray

Basic Gray



My Sample

jacqueline's Sample

CC151 Gallery



Please put CC151 in your keywords section (and if you have more than one challenge use a comma to separate them) so we can find your card! If you need help uploading click here!




As always, I am open to suggestions for future color challenges! Please pm me if you have one. DO NOT SEND ME AN EMAIL!! If you do not include a sample, it is harder for me to use it! I will probably not respond, as I get several, but I save them for future reference!

[mkstampin74]

sounds fun! yeah...i'm first!

[geekgirl415]

you ROCKED the horrible, nasty YoYoYellow! Your card is gooooorrrgesous!

[Stampinsilvia]

ohh these colors sound fun...too bad I don't have going gray or basic grey...BUMMER!

[sherristampsalot]

Oh wow!

[sherristampsalot]

I meant oh wow in a not-so-good way, but after I looked a the samples I see it can be a very good thing!!

[mrobin]

Love your sample, this should be a good combo. I'll need to get my hands on the gray's.

[hpyscrpr2]

Nice challenge...grays and yellow. Need to think on my design...be back in the early morn to post my card. Thanks for another toughie

[mmbc]

WOW! What a challenge! Need to go dust off the yo yo yellow.....

[chelrel19]

It's always good to be challenged - will have to sleep on this one!

[rsalamon]

I really love this color combo. Thanks for another great challenge!

[Maggie's Mummy]

Sounds great and love the samples - any suggestion on what I can use in lieu of Basic Gray??? Anyone????

Cheers.

[janacb]

WOW! Not a combo I would have come up with, but it totally works! Great sample Emily!! Can't wait to try it out myself!

[skdeleeuw]

Bummer! No gray at my house either. I guess I better stock up come Friday!

[Christy S.]

Here's mine...I cheated a bit, I added a little Only Orange. You can't have a monarch butterfly with no orange, can you?

Just Because Butterfly

And now I have to go take my dogs for a walk because I promised that I would when I started working on this card. The advantage of living in Japan...the challenges usually get posted mid-afternoon here

[ctrmom3]

I stayed up way to late to do this, but I doubt I'll have any time tomorrow so here's mine. Thanks Emily.

[Toy]

wowza.. loving the samples so far. unfortunately, I don't have any 'going gray', either

do you suppose substituting basic black for going gray would achieve the same effect?

call me crazy, but I LIKE yo-yo yellow!

[allee's]

Thanks for the great challenge, Emily!

The Yellow Rose of Texas

[Melissa41]

Wow gorgeous samples and submissions so far! Do I even have any yo yo yellow? Hopefully I can play after work today!

Have fun everyone!

[mmbc]

I don't own any yo yo or going gray ink so I ended up paper piecing.

[Maggie's Mummy]

Well, here's my card. Unfortunately, I needed a sympathy card. I figured the contrast of the bright Yo-Yo Yellow with the Going Grey may be just the ticket. Unfortunately, we don't have Basic Grey available here yet, so I substituted Brocade Blue and used that for the base - hope that's OK???

Sympathy Yellow Flowers

Thanks for the challenge Emily!!!

[bambi64]

No basic gray, no yo-yo yellow here in this house. Looks like i'm sitting this one out. Interesting combo, Emily.

[Maggie's Mummy]

OK, hopefully I can post this (been having some troubles!!!).

I had to sub in some Brocade Blue for the Basic Grey - we simply don't have that here in Australia yet. Unfortunately I needed a Sympathy card for a dear family friend who lost her mother in law to cancer last week. This colour combo seemed to have the right balance for just such a card. So, here's mine:

Sympathy Yellow Flowers

Thanks for the challenge Emily.

[DawnL]

thanks Emily
hmmmmm, only have yo yo..........might be able to sub

[DawnL]

thanks Emily
hmmmm, only have yo yo...I'll see what I can sub

[papermoon04]

Goodness, this one is a CHALLENGE for me! Thanks Emily!

Goodness, this one is a CHALLENGE for me! Thanks Emily!

This is called yo yo on the go go, because I haven't gotten dressed for work yet, I have a 45 minute commute, but hey, I know how to set my priorities for the day, right?? Here' s my card:

[wendykins]

This will be a challenge to make this one look good! In fact, I just let me DS use most of my yo-yo, along with taken with teal and glorious green(all colors i really can't use very well) for this Social Studies Project. Those three colors actually match the flag from the islands of St. Vincent and the Grenandines, so he is making his poster pop with those three colors to his heart's content!. I will try to see if i can make a card today with the color combo, may have to sub for one of the grays, though.

[Cici510]

I am sitting this one out as well. No Yo-Yo. No greys. So I am going to chill in the gallery today and "ooh" and "ah" and what you guys come up with.

[JenniGirl]

A quick one before I head to work. Morning ladies!!

Yo Yo Flower

[AussieKylie]

I would have loved to have tried this challenge (my first one !!) but unfortunately here in the UK we do not have "Going Gray" in our catalogue. I love your samples though. I might try this anyway but use basic black instead but obviously I won't upload it.

[TreasureOiler]

Sound interesting....unfortunately I have no Going Gray or Basic Gray....will sit this one out.

Can't wait to see all the other beautiful creations though!

[Mothermark]

Here is mine...

Fighting the urge!
