I used my DD's yoyo yellow ink pad to do the "kiss technique"and got distracted ( or maybe I am getting old) and I got only orange ink on the yellow stamp pad. Now it's not yellow like it once was . Help please!!!!
My former demo had someone do this with Night of Navy and Yoyo. She said she reinked the pad, stored it witht he pad up, and hoped for the best. Overnight, the new yellow ink seemed to take the blue to the bottom of the pad (or somewhere!) and she had no more trouble with it. Give it a try, it should work.
my yellows ALWAYS seem to get mucky. I simply take a piece of paper & run it across the top of the pad a few times. It seems to soak up the mess of the other colors.
GOOD LUCK!

I've gotten a darker ink on my yellow before, and just took a paper towel and dabbed and dabbed until it came out. Now somebody might say something against doing so, but it worked perfectly for me!
Store your pads with the colored label up, or so that you can read the color when it's sitting on a shelf. The ink pad will actually be upside down when you do this. This keeps your ink at the surface of the pad where you need it.
What Sandra was described was actually storing the pad the wrong way, so that it is in the same position as when you stamp with it. That lets the ink "settle" to the bottom of the pad.
Well this is what I do, all the time. I have workshops and someone always stamps a big black image right in the middle of my yellow pads. Rarely is it the pink or the blue. So my upline told me this and it works for me. I use a baby wipe to rub the offending color off the pad. I personally reink that section but it seems to work. You can still see a light image of the black ink but it isn't black on the rubber. I stopped stessing over it because it happens more than I care to think about.
yeah, someone stamped black ink on my versamark pad! So the rest of the group was getting black on their cream cardstock when they stamped. It was a mess! I had about 30 teachers doing a craft night when it happened. . . . The versamark pad is fine when using it on darker papers, but not white or cream, or a light color. I haven't messed with it, just got another pad. But I also knew it would happen again. Thanks for the rebirth technique of the ink pads! Love ya for that!
It always amazes me how careless people are with other people's belongings. I don't know what it is about the yellow ink pads, but I've had all three of mine stamped with Basic Black . . . Here is what I did when my Barely Banana got a big black square stamped into the middle of it. I ran it under the tap until the water ran clear and I was left with a blank ink pad. Then I set it out to dry over night, assuming that the black ink would be permanent once dry. The next morning, there was only a very slight mark where the Basic Black ink had been stamped into the pad. Then I used about 2/3 of a bottle of the reinker to ink the pad up and it is as good as new. This seems like a little more work than some of the other "techniques," but I wanted to give another option, in case the ink in your pad was still muddy.

This is a bit of a hi-jack, but I figured out a way to keep people from doing this very thing at workshops or classes.
I was going to be teaching a bunch of teenagers to make Christmas card for a service project at church. I set up specific stamping stations on separate tables with certain colors and stamps at each table. The stampers had to travel around the room to do each step. It worked great!
I keep myself from doing it by only having one pad open at a time.
did I ruin yoyo yellow?
