Which reinkers should i get?

[girl4cupcake]

hi everyone i've been wanting to get some reinkers to do some of the various fun techniques i see here but i don't know what ones to get....are there some that would work for various occasions...or what are your favs? i don't have any SU! inkpads other than black...(i know...GASP! i'm slowly trying to collect them) anyways any advice would be much appreciated! thanks

Well, I may not be much help either, but I didn't like the stamp pads and exchanged mine for the spots.

I have all 4 sets of craft spots and 2 sets of classic spots with the rest coming.

I am still working on getting the re-inkers also, so I will have them for my current pads if the colors change!

Earth Elements and Rich Regals were my first pick. I love working with those colors the most!

I would personally go for Soft Subtles. I think the colors are very complimentary of each other and work well for most of the reinker techniques.

I carefully selected reinkers in white, black, versamark, and a light colour of the Brilliance inks (Opulent Orchid I think? Light pink, anyhoo.) I thought I would get a good variety of choice with those.

thanks to everyone so far...i tend to like the brites and the earth elements color families...perhaps i should word my question a bit differently...are there some combos of say like three or so that you gals just can't live w/o?.....i've thought of checking the color challenges but there are soo many lol....i'm gonna drive myself mad!...

A couple of combos that I couldn't live without for polished stone are Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, and Silver; Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, and Silver. I guess it depends on which techniques you really want to try and which colors you really like.
What about (since you like BB and EE) Brilliant Blue, Tempting Turquoise? I'd definitely get a metallic reinker, tho. JMHO

You need pink passion, green galore, lovely lilac. You also need yo yo yellow, tempting torquoise, and ballet blue (okay that's not BB, but you need it). Don't forget real red, glorious green, and pixie pink! Out of earth elements, you need pumpkin pie, more mustard, close to cocoa, your favorite EE green, ruby red, and really rust. Out of RR you need a darker blue, artichoke, eggplant, rose red, and saffron. Or, you could start with your favorite colors and build them that way. That should get you off to a good start, good luck!

ooo...a metalic..lol how come i didn't even think of this!! i must get a silver one..i just loove silver...i'm interested in doing polished stone and especially shaving cream..lol i don't even know why it holds such appeal! i think its cause when i was little i used to love to play with my dad's shaving cream haha ok thanks...keep the combos comming!

[stampinCPA]

Here's a thread with a document that has great polished stone color combos. Pick your reinkers from these combos and you can't go wrong!

[jshurkus]

as faras choosing which reinkers to get.. why not look at what dye pads you have the most... get THOSE reinkers.. that way you can do fun techniques with them as well as reink your pads ;)

hey one more question for RidiculouslyAddicted....did you order your silver reinker out of the back of the ib&c? or did you get it at a craft store?...i know michales and such have the 40%off coupons all the time....

[Kar]

I got old olive, barely banana, and pale plum, They are a great combo for the shaving cream technique. But I also use them a lot for watercoloring.

I ordered it through SU. I don't know if Michael's has them (but I'm definitely not sure!)

[girl4cupcake]

thanks guys, or should i say gals...oh well...i'll be sure to get that metalic reinker...and i think i'm gonna go with either old olive which i love or perhaps green galore...two totally diff looks! but yeah...i think i'll get a pink and perhaps a brown since the brown combos are really popular lately ie pink/brown, blue/brown...etc....thanks for the help...decisions are hard!! any good pink suggestions?
