Think I would like a different one each day depending on mood and weather conditions so having a choice all the time is good!

Second, I couldn't pick a favorite either and what I use the most changes a lot. I don't even really have a favorite color outside of ink although sometimes I think it's pink but then I like the earthly colors a lot too and then sometimes I'm just into the jewel tones. We could go back to my childhood when I knew which color in the big Crayola box was my favorite and that was Magenta!!!!

Hmmm, no - cant pick a favourite any more than you can! And that goes for the ink pads too. I have a new favourite every day. Have to agree about the archival black though, it's probably my most used. It was vey clever of you to make such a fab creation just using that one ink pad! I ran out of time this week and wished I'd known what the challenge was going to be, nothing I like better than getting inky :-) (oh, except maybe getting some rays in the garden lol! Hope you're having a great weekend.

There's always a but. When I start inking I reach for Autumn colours. It is my absolute favourite season, and of course it is Autumn now in Aus. Soooo I would have to go with Peeled Paint. That makes perfect sence doesn't it? Seriously I love so many different colours and inks. This is just too hard to call. Love all your cards.

I thought I had them all but darned if that one got away from me. Still not opened. I am on vacation down south this week, and hope I get to play with you guys later in the week. I am running around in Col. Williamsburg looking for Patrick Henry and gang. Archival is my favorite black as I can do so much with it and never worry.
