What color do you use the most?
Other than white what color cardstock do you use the most? I seem to go thru more pink cardstock than anything, and can't seem to ever have enough. Doing todays color challenge I realized that was my last sheet of Pretty In Pink. I really wish that I could find a non su pink that compared to it at my lss so that I was not out for so long until I could get my order. All the pinks I find there are either too bright or have more of a gray tint to them.

I use alot of Navy Blue (night of navy is SU color name I think). Both as a base and as an accent/matte color. I seem to go through alot of brown colors too- chop chip
As far as pinks go I use alot of Bazzill textured cardstock. Lots of pinks to choose from at my LSS.

For a layering paper I use black a lot or brown and then I use pink or caribbean blue with it. I also use a lot of wallpaper because that's where I get my inspiration. I see a gawwwgeous print paper and can just see a card formulating in my head. Does that answer your question?

shades of green and blue, I seem to go in cycles. If I get a combo I like I may stick with it, but the last 9 cards I uploaded all have green.

celery - it matches everything!
But I have a feeling I'm going to be a sucker for Wild Wasabi and Blue Bayou

chocolate chip & creamy caramel are in almost every card i make - and i know there aren't many in my school of thought, but i just adore "not quite navy" as well - it's just such an "odd" color that you can't find anywhere else - love it

Do you have a problem with stamping on the texutred or do you only use it for layering?

the new catty will show a lot of new techniques w/ textured paper since su! is now offering it! (how exciting!)
you can stamp on textured paper - creates a different effect, but very nice - watercoloring on it is nice too
i've also seen someone print black & white photos on textured paper - looked *wonderful* in their layout

Right now I use Elegant Eggplant and Avocado the most because those are the two stamp pads I have. *lol* I am expecting my order in any day now with 6 new stamp pads in it so my color spectrum will spread out some. ;)

Right now, probably Chocolate Chip. Before that, red. Years ago before I joined SU!, I went to my local scrapbook store in search of a package of red cardstock. They told me they sold it by the sheet only and asked what on earth I'd need a WHOLE PACKAGE of red cardstock for anyhow?!
I guess this was a little before the big card making craze...
