If At First...

If at first the colors don't look right to you, change them before you finish the card! Ü
I'm trying to embrace the new Color Coach because it is a GREAT tool...but seriously...Basic Gray, Melon Mambo and Old Olive? Maybe it's just too far out of my comfort zone to appreciate. What do you think?

  5. Becky, I love your card...and the color combo. What I'm loving about the Color Coach is that it really does take us out of our comfort zone with colors and color combos we use all the time...and that is a good thing.

    Thanks for your creative inspiration.

  8. Becky, this is lovely. And I do like the addition of the Daffodil Delight to pull it all together.

  9. I agree the yellow ties it together. I also wonder how it would have looked if the grey was in between the other two colors instead of at the bottom. That said, the card is darling and I would love to receive it or be proud to give it! Nice job as always!

  14. Gotta say, it looks great although I shared your "no way Jose" first thought! I have the color coach and I like it because of these strange combos I'd never actually try myself! Look at it this way -- We're growing, we're growing!

  15. I'm not lovin it but it's okay. I have yet to open my color coach. It will be interesting to see what other "odd" combos are in there! :)

  16. Cute design, but I'm with you - that color combo is a bit out of my comfort zone as well. Then again, sometimes it's good to get out of your comfort zone!

  17. Hi Becky. I agree with you that the color combo is not one I would have chosen, but you pulled it off well. Good Job!

  18. Girlfriend it looks great! I would say that it is not a color combo that I myself would come up with, however; it works!

  20. What's interesting to me; I LOVE the colors. After looking at everyone elses comments I looked back at each of the main colors, Basic Grey, Melon Mambo and Old Olive and NONE OF THEM HAVE DAFFODIL YELLOW.... I think this is an interesting addition to the combo and I think it's beautiful. Like the others; any thing you do is great and I'm positive that if you didn't like it it would not have ended up where we can all view and comment :) It's gorgeous.
