Distress Inks

Don't think it was picked up in Incidental, so will ask here. For those of you who use Distress Inks, if I had to choose just 7 or 8 colours, which would they be?

Lynda

Spiced Marmalade (orange)
Dusty Concord (purple)
Black Soot
Vintage Photo (brown)
Mustard Seed (yellow)
Fired Brick (red)
Faded Jeans (blue)
Peeled Paint or Crushed Olive (green)

Thanks, Kate: will be interesting to see if anyone else has some different ideas.

sorry, not much help from here; I have several different purples (bought for me), the first two from Kate's list and something Velvet, which is a lovely pinky red.

Was leaving it to the authority on the subject ;)
I'd certainly go for the black soot, having trouble narrowing it down to 8
I'd pick them in groups of three shades of the same colour but not as follows as these aren't groups of 3
I like the crushed olive,
brushed corduroy,
peeled paint,
walnut stain,
worn lipstick,
broken china
and pumice stone which is a bit of a a non colour, beige/grey but handy for just a hint of shadow.

Black Soot
Walnut Stain - an absolute must have
Brushed Corduroy
Spiced Marmalade
Mustard Seed
Fired Brick
Faded Jeans or Tumbled Glass
Peeled Paint

I got Spiced Marmalade, Black Soot, Mustard Seed, Fired Brick, Faded Jeans, Crushed Olive (couldn't get Peeled Paint), Walnut Stain and Brushed Corduroy, all as re-inkers for approx £2 a bottle (girl in US I'd just bought something from had them).

Thanks for all the advice.

Lots of fun to be had with that lot Lynda.

Great stuff Lynda. You'll love 'em.
