CC#44: Taken with Teal, Yoyo Yellow, and Rose Red
 

Hello, and welcome to this week's edition of Color Challenge, I'm your host, Karen (thanks MamaK!!).

*Please put CC44 in the keyword box when you upload!*

This weeks color challenge is to use Taken with Teal, Yoyo Yellow, and Rose Red. You may add a neutral as well.

I had fun creating this as I took two of the colors from the poll "Least Used SU Inks". So put your creativite juices to the test and post your card!

Here is my sample:

Enjoy and happy stamping!

I am in desperate need to buy more ink. I would love to participate in a lot of these challenges, but don't have most of the colors that are chosen. Hope to be able to participate soon!

If you still want to play you can substitute colors that are close. In your comments just say that you didn't have all the colors and give your substitutions. From my understanding these challenges are to get your creative juices flowing - the rules aren't strict. The important thing is for you to play!

I'm hoping to get to this challenge tonight!

Thanks mackbrad -- These challenges are for fun and to help you try something you haven't done before.

Gina which colors don't you have? If you like help coming up with another, but similar scheme, PM me!

Sounds like fun!
 

Love that card for the example!! These colors always scare me...so that's why I always try and make it a point to try this challenge. I'll see what I can do later on! Thanks for hosting!!:smile:

jumpin' on the thread, so that when cards are posted, I can find 'em.

Hmmm now this has got to be among the most interesting color challenges yet...

I'm going to try this one, but I don't have Taken w/Teal or Rise Red. I think I have an old tealish marker that I could try and maybe Regal rose...we'll see what I come up with.

Great challenge.

Definitely going to have to mull over this one. I�m not so Taken with Teal. LOL :D

Keri, you are one of my idols, please tell me you meant that in a good way ~LOL (even if you didn't :) )

Just tryin' to get some love going for those colors that are misunderstood :)

For those of you without those colors, you could try Tempting Turquoise, Yoyo, and Regal; or Brilliant, Red, Yoyo. The color combo is a bright and fun one -- so have fun :)

I will give this one some play this evening. I know I have Teal paper, but will have to substitute the ink with Sage or Turquoise. Sounds like a fun combo - especially for kid cards! I'm thinking nieces and nephews birthdays . . . teacher thank yous, party invitations . . . hmmmmmmmm.

Karen, please I don't want to be an idol....
and no I didn't mean that it was interesting in a bad way at all! I am sorry if that is how it came across....I mean, interesting cause I STINK at those colors.....and with the mood I am in today....wellll let's just say......I am scared to see what I do! LOL I will try to get one done later, I am going on a picnic lunch with my boys and DH and then I have a chiro appt this afternoon....but somewhere in there I will see what I can do!

I really liked this challenge - however, I LOVE yoyo yellow (no dissin' me!) and I'm planning on getting Taken w/Teal soon. I think this a great combo for kids , just substitute Turquiose for Teal and there you go!!

Here's my card (with a little improvization):

interesting combo... will have to try it when my christmas stamp order arrives later today! the only color I am unsure about is the yellow, i think I've used my ink pad once. I love how scs stretched our creativity. THanks for posting this week's combo!

I think you guys are right....this is a great kids color combo and that is not, shall we say, my strong point. Since I've had more requests for kids' cards I guess that means I can count this as "work" time instead of playtime, huh? ....Off to work I go.....

You know what...I can't even find scraps of teal or yoyo...and I HAVE scraps.

Wow, interesting color combo. I can't even remember the last time I used YoYo Yellow. Will have to play with these later!

I thought this was such a fun color combo...right away I thought of Fishy Friends.

Hey, Karen... are you trying to outdo me on the shock factor :) Just kidding.

I don't have taken with teal ink, but I have cs. Maybe VersaMark?

Cool stamps by CTMH on your card. Just right for a bright surprise card.

Hmmm...I'll have to think on this one. I am afraid I might have a stomach bug so I am off to lay down! Can't even get the energy to play with my SAB order that came last night!

here's my first color challenge today, i think i'll try another later....

http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...200996&si=CC44

Oh, Emily, you must really be sick....an unopened SAB order with free stamps inside. Hope you are better soon!!

Here's my attempt!!!!

Hope you're feeling better Emily..........if it is a buggie, hopefully it's only the 24 hour kind!!!

Vicki

These colors seemed very funlike to me so I made a Birthday card!

http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=22025

This was really fun!! I pulled out these scraps and thought retro! Thought of On the Spot. Used a Becky Flecky sketch from July 2005, what fun!!
Thanks for the push to use this stuff just sittin around! :)

Heres my card, pending approval at 3:22 CST

hee hee...that certainly wasn't the intent, but it sure seems to have shocked people. Hopefully it won't scare them away -- or the next hostess won't be happy!

Thank you ladies for giving it a try!!

Well, I didn't have Taken with Teal or Rose Red so I substituted Tempting Turquoise and Real Red - this is what I came up with:

Definitely a tough combination but it's great 'cause it's always nice to get out of the rut that I can tend to get into. See here's my first attempt - I have another idea that I'm going to try (hopefully).

http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...01040&cat=3623

it's not a bad combo... I'm just stuck with which set I should use.

Only had the yellow ink pad, but my markers came to the rescue! Fun colors to work with, not sure I'm lovin' what I did though. Thanks for the challenge Karen!

I gave it a try.....
 

This was VERY CHALLENGING (but fun) for me....I think my hang up was the yoyo yellow. It's not one of my favorites. I need to wait for the crystal effects to dry, then I'll scan and post. :)

This was a real challenge for me because these are so NOT my colors. But, that's what the challenges are all about. Thanks, Karen.

Love Ya Man

You ladies are doing a great job with this challenge!! Way to bring it!

Here is mine, still pending as of 6:10 central time. http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...201155&cat=503

Just looked at all your cards for this challenge!! I won't have time to comment on each one, but I want everybody to know I love all of them!!!

I really liked this color combination. Thanks for the good challenge.

Here is another one. Now I'm just about out of yoyo-yellow. :(

OK.... Here's mine! This was so against my normal comfort zone for colors, but that what makes it a challenge... right? Hope you like it!!
