I was debating about getting basic brown because it is suppose to be waterproof. Those of you that have it, do you love it? Is it a must have? Is the color more like close to cocoa or chcolate chip? Just wondering if I NEEDED to spend that money on Basic Brown or if I can get away with using one of the other colors!
I got one mostly for the waterproof part, but I love it. It's closer to Close to Cocoa then Chocolate Chip. I've used it with the watercolor pencils, with a Versamarker and Pearl Ex, and by itself.
My only complaint is that it smells funny...but that might be a pregnancy related thing.
Ditto her comments above minus the smell funny thing, that I havent noticed, I wasnt going to get it so someone got it for me, and now I am glad she did. Lovin it!
ABSOLUTE MUST!!!
Black can sometimes be to bold of a color when you are looking for something a little more softer but still dark enough to show detail.
I agree with the others. I love it, a must have if you're doing any watercoloring. It's softer than black. I showed it with the Aqua Painters and sold 2 or 3.
YES!!! Basic Brown is a Must-Have item! I am so thrilled with this. I did a really fantastic card at a recent workshop (which reminds me that I must upload it ASAP) using this pad and the Peaceful Pastoral. I then watercolored it with the Aqua Painter. It really looked nice!
I second the previous comment about how sometimes black is just too stark a color to use. Now, if I could just get SU! to come out with a Basic Gray pad I would be good to go!

oh man! you guys I wasn't going to order this! I have put it on my order so many times already and deleted it thinking I didn't really need it, might not use it and now I want it again!!
I didn't order it when I was at convention (even though I had used it and liked it). Then when I got back home and replicated a card we made at convention (but using Basic Black) I decided I had to order it...I'm glad I did!
lets see - what have I ordered ONLY because of this list:
extra yo yo yellow pad (to clean ink off stamps - tip from Kymber)
simply circles (sooo many awesome samples)
Just Jeans (Lana's fault)
Crafters tool kit - (all the great reveiws)
Pickles paper - love that color combo and have seen CUTE things done with it
Loads of love (too many cute samples and out of the box ideas)
etc etc etc... I could go on and on....
Now I have to add the Basic Brown classic pad! LOL - by the end of the weekend, that list will have grown some more.....
Good Evening,
I am just tuning in to this post and do have the Basic Brown and agree with all of the others that it is a MUST have. Especially if you love the outdoorsy, animal, manly kinda stamping like I do! Great with Yukon and the new Noble Deer sets. I was wondering where I could find the post on the extra yo yo yellow pad used to clean your stamps or if someone could fill me in on that post. I missed it and am curious as to how this works.
Have a great weekend folks.
Do I NEED Basic Brown?
