Default Favorite Stampin' Up Ink Pads?

Hey All

I was looking at all my ink pads and wondered what colors were usually the favorites. So, if you have a moment could you list your favorite Stampin' Up! ink pad colors?

Thanks

Michelle

I tend to stick with Rich Regals or Earth Elements. I bought pads first in colors I liked and then finally added them in families. I choose the families I went to most often for colors first. I also got the markers early on so I'd have every color choice, rather than just a limited number.

Color is so much personal preference. I went through a phase where almost every card was pink and brown. I finally broke out of that and now every card is pink and black. The men in my life love it. LOL.

My personal favorires-

Choc chip
Mellow moss
Certainly Celery
Pretty in Pink
Melon Mambo
So Saffron
pumpkin pie
night of navy
bermuda bay
real red

I would go with colors you tend to use most. Definitely Chocolate Chip and Close to Cocoa are ink pads that never leave my desk!

I tend to use darker colors (basic black, basic brown, etc.) for verses or to outline images and use lighter colors for everything else. And it depends on the season which other colors I use. Guess I just love them all.

Sage Shadow
Ruby Red
Brilliant Blue

my 2c worth -
going grey, basic brown, choc chip, bashful blue, only olive.

I use both basic grey and going grey as opposed to the basic black as it gives a softer look to an image, and black is quite harsh.

Lately I've been using Earth Elements the most which was at one time my least favorite. I guess my taste has changed.

I never thought about going gray instead of black. Makes sense. Great idea!
