Default PTI and SU ?

I like the idea of papers, ink and embellishments all coordinating. But I am planning on using copic markers. I have seen that PTI has papers and ink and so forth that all match too. Do you like one over the other or do you just piece meal things together?

I love it ALL!! LOL

I use the colors I love, and find that even though I used to be all matchy matchy...I don't need it so much anymore. I love all the different brands, and PTI is a great way to branch away from only SU because of their color-match options, but I still haven't purchased a single ink from PTI, and haven't missed it yet.

I use both PTI and SU and I find that they work well together. I use the PTI CS for the card bases and the SU CS for layering. I find that SU is a lighter weight and dosn't hold up as a card base the way that PTI does. I have a couple of the PTI ink pads and when I realized that the two companies colors are close I decided not to get anymore of the PTI ink because I already have all of the SU ink. The PTI white is great with Copic's, I don't like SU white with Copic's. HTH.

One nice thing that Nicole has done is to make "sets" of Copics that match PTI's colors. They can be found here. She also has a chart that you can download showing the matching Copics.
