SU ink pads question

[MissouriGirl]

How close is the Basic Brown to Close To Cocoa and Chocolate Chip? Also is the SU black still purple? I'm debating on buying these two and wondering if I really NEED them. Also what can you do with the Whisper White and Very Vanilla craft pads?

Thanks in adavnce!

I don't like the SU black. I use the versa fine black and it is awesome. I don't have the basic brown but cocoa and chocolate chip. I love chocolate chip ink as well as the CS. That is about all the help I can give you. I used to use the whisper white craft pads for all my hockey scrapbooks I made. It stamps and sets on black great. I just sold my vanilla realizing that I probably would not use it very much. I now emboss with versa mark and the white SU powder.

I use the Whisper White craft ink all the time. It stamps well on most colors. You can also do the chalkboard technique with Whisper White. There is a tutorial on SCS for this. I have used it to make backgrounds. I do not have the Very Vanilla although it is on my wish list.
The Basic Brown is closer to Chocolate Chip. I really don't use it very often. When I need a more permanent brown ink I either use Timber Brown Stazon or Chocolate Chip craft.
I don't use Basic Black I use Stazon Black instead.

I don't use either Basic anymore. I think Chocolate Chip is darker than Basic Brown. I switched to Palette Burnt Umber for my waterproof brown needs and use Memories for my waterproof black needs.

I have switched to Memento ink pads - Rich Cocoa & Tuxedo Black for all my stamping needs. Works great with Copics and drys almost instantly.

i use the white craft ink(well when i had it, havent had a chance to get my hands on some) alot for doing the backgrounds(the images in the white on a solid colored cardstock..if that makes sense...) i was pondering at one time to get the craft ink square pads(those small "sample" like squares) cause of the price and i dont use them all the time, but would like to just use them once in while type thing....

I just ordered a new SU Black and it is very black

Basic Brown is close to Chocolate Chip but I find I use my Basic Brown brown more

Whisper White is great - I no longer user any of my other whites

If you have white you probably do not need VV - I like mine for blending but it's not a must have IMHO
