As promised here is an answer to a question I received on my last Stamping Essentials post. Meaghan asked, "If I could only pick five ink pads, which ones would they be and why?" So here is my answer. I know it is later than I promised but this is the second version since Typepad lost my first version. I love technology but sometimes it is a pain. =)
#1--Basic Black Classic Ink: This is the color I recommend all brand new stampers get. It is just a must have. The Black stands out on any color of card stock. It is great for lined images, so you can color in the image.
#2--Chocolate Chip Classic Ink: This is another color I use all the time. I just love this shade of brown. It coordinates beautifully with so many colors. This is a great color to have on hand as an alternative to black. It is also a great neutral color to have in your ink collection.
#3--Old Olive Classic Ink: This is one of the most versatile shades of green we have. It coordinates beautifully with most of our standard colors. It is also a great green that can be used for every season of the year.
#4--Ballet Blue Classic Ink: This is one of those colors most people tend to overlook. It is not one of our hugely popular colors but I love it. It is a soft enough shade of blue to use it with pastels. But it is bright enough to pop on any card or scrapbook page.
#5--Real Red Classic Ink: Red is another great color to have on hand. Red is great for many holidays and seasons of the year. I love how true our red is. It doesn't look pink or orange, it is a true red.
I hope this answers your question Meaghan. I hope to hear from all of you and answer any of your stamping or scrapbooking questions!!
