I think initially if you have clear, holographic or glitter, gold and silver EPs you should be ok. I tend to use coloured inks and clear emboss over. I do have white which is quite useful and black which I find makes a terrible mess and sticks everywhere it shouldn't so I tend to stamp in black and clear emboss over.
