Which colours distress inks

what colours should i start with? i am going to order some, i found them for £3.99 at cutting edge crafts, but don't know which 6 i should include in my first set.

please help.

Black Soot, Walnut Stain, Tea Dye, Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade and Peeled Paint.
If you can stretch to two more, get Mustard and Broken China.

thanks lou. those are some of the ones i was thinking of. guess i know a little more than i thought. lol

i did think of getting primary colours and then sepia, natural. so that selection works.

thanks alot.

i ordered: broken china, spiced marmalade, tea dye, walnut stain, peeled paint and fired brick. they didn't have on the list black soot or (plain) mustard.

I wouldnt buy the new pastel colours - I would also avoid tattered rose, all for the same reason, they are way too pale to use and never show up.

thanks maria. i did wonder if some of the lighter shades would be worth it.

i had an email already stating that my order has been despatched. that's cutting edge crafts for you. real quick.

It's actually called Mustard Seed, Jane. Don't know why they don't have Black Soot, it was there the other day.

I have Tattered Rose and have used it for distressing in the past but it is very pale. However, if you plan on painting with your pads, the tattered rose is great for skin tones.

i just got 3 of the new colours and love them all , i got victorian velvet which is a gorgeous delicate old rose pink colour ,bundled sage (soft green )and rusty hinge( purely because the name made me giggle ! ) a bit mine , ..rusty that is !

That's what I've got keep - rusty hinges - and nothing to do
with crafting - I mean my own body.
