I agree purple is a great color but what's even better is when it's paired with a sage green. Sooooo, pretty. Your cards are gorgeous. My favorite card is made with the greens and blues.
I love that you are so passionate about purple, it is so fun to see you so animated and excited about the distress ink Reinker colors , beautiful colors and cards, they would look good with a stained glass effect , maybe with clear glossy accents or distress glaze…. So fun!!
While I'll admit purple is not my favorite color, I do love it! It has it's place in the world....a beautiful top, a fun accent to an outfit or a fun accent to a girls bathroom and especially on handmade cards! It's very dramatic and makes one take notice. Most importantly for me though is it was my grandmother's favorite color so I instantly think of Grandma...it looked fabulous on her. Beautiful cards and a great technique....I'm inspired.
Oh my goodness, the purple with mustard seed is amazing. I thought it sounded strange as a combination but they both just make each other pop off the page. Gorgeous.
I love purple. Our high school colors were purple and white, my first luggage was a light lavender, I even wished for a purple car at one time. Bring it on!
They are all gorgeous! Usually I'm not a purple lover - it does not suit my complexion, so I have no purple clothes, but I love the purple shades that Tim has come up with, and my favourite is wilted violet, with villainous potion second!
I'm usually not one for purple, but Villainous potion is a game changer. It also brings out good things in the other purples in the distress line. And paired with Hocus Pocus... Yum!
I absolutely love the colors that you used for each of the cards. They all came out beautiful. "Purple is such a rich color." I am from Hawaii it is considered a "Royal" color here. LOVE THIS COLOR!! Thanks for sharing.
Your cards are beautiful and elegant. Villainous Potion is gorgeous! I make a lot of cards with my favorite cardstock combo cards which is a deep purple with sage green or another light green but not too light. The darker the purple the more rich color you get. Just❤it.
These cards are gorgeous and Purple month is a great idea. My poor crafty heart dropped when you said you did not make use of the left over ink. Otherwise this technique is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
I LOVE purple. While a month of purple might be off-putting for some, a month with each week devoted to working with a different color might be well received. Or a class devoted to working with purple would be AhMazing! Really enjoy your work. You’ve inspired me to move beyond my comfort zone and man, oh, man have I found joy in card making. Thank you for sharing!
Kristina! I'm now so inspired to give Villainous Potion a go for a holiday gift I'm planning for a purple-obsessed niece of mine. Would have never made that connection, so thanks for the inspiration!!💜
Love those cards! While I am not a purple cringer, I am trying to learn to play well with purple. So far, nothing exciting, but it's a journey. I love your excitement over your purple card. Thank you for sharing.
I love the idea of a purple month. It's been my favorite color since 2nd grade (and I'm 52 now) not to mention I'm a Baltimore Ravens fan too. Going to try this technique today! Thank you!
Just love these cards. Perfect to do all purple cards/projects in February, because of the Amethyst birthstone. I am a major purple lover, especially with green. My husband and my birthstones (him Amethyst and me Peridot).
purple month>purple month!!! that would be great, a full month of only purple cards, purple is so versatile. i think it works for all season, for all holidays and all occasions. just like green and blue. i love blue, but i just got the new purple from Tim and it had the same effect on me, i wanted all my Halloween stuff to be purple :)
Love it! You have got to do a purple month. I love purple! Loved your excitement also an you are so right. Absolutely gorgeous!!! Can’t wait to see what you create tonight LIVE!
I started using Distress reinkers several years ago because it is so easy to achieve intense colors. The one issue I found is that sometimes, if the ink is too concentrated, it takes a LONG time to dry. The solution is easy - don't use pure ink, dilute it as you have done. These cards are so dramatic! As to the color purple - not a fan for clothing, but I use it often in my cards and journal pages because it draws the eye. Beautiful cards, Kristina. I can understand why you wanted to share the video!
Hello Purple! I’m definitely a fan - and Villainous? Be still my purple-loving heart! I’ve loved all your fall cards so much. Thrilled to see some purple make the play list! I was itching for some eggplant, but villainous will do!
A month of purple sounds like it would be such an interesting challenge. Looking forward to my villainous potion arriving in my mailbox hopefully soon. Such a pretty colour. And with this video I am realizing how I've underused and not given vintage photo enough credit/love.
I just love you so much! You make me laugh and your energy is calming. I watch you and think I really can do watercolor - you make it look so easy! Thanks Kristina!
Absolutely Stunning Cards! ✨I Hope I Have These Color Combinations to Try and Use! ✨. I’m Team Purple! 🙋♀️💜 Have a Wonderful Day! 💕 Take Care, and Be Safe!💜
These cards are fabulous! I am so inspired I will be pulling out my reinkers and a snowflake background stamp to make some Christmas cards, Yes, there will be some purple. Purple, dark shades of blues and grays make a night sky, pale purple and pinks a sky at dawn. Purple with blues and blue greens evoke water. A color blend with a coral or peach into bright pink into purple is lovely. I love shades of yellow and gold with pops of a vivid purple. Think pansies. I had no idea purple was controversial! By the way, Thanksgiving is a holiday we tend to skip over on our way to Christmas, so maybe it is appropriate to slip in a thanks card. Thank you for demonstrating this technique.
I’m 11 months late to the party and just received my Villainous Potion reinker in the mail yesterday. The stars aligned today when this video popped up on my feed. I 💜 💜💜purple and can’t wait to paint fall cards today!
Green is my favorite color, but a deep jewel tone purple is a close second. When Tim started creating new colors, I kept griping about there needing to be an eggplant type purple. Villainous is close!
Beautiful combination of colors! I've seen a few crafters use the reinkers for watercoloring. I think it's a great choice because there is now a huge selection of color.
We are definitely not cringing, Kristina! Your enthusiasm and love for art is a sight to behold. We are honored to have you share it with us. And yes, purple for the win 💜💜💜 Purple month sounds great. That shade was so beautiful, it warrants it
These are simply gorgeous!!! I love the green one, it’s so natural and soothing. Thank you so much for revisiting old supplies, I was feeling a bit defeated thinking I wish I could afford the latest and greatest to do some holiday cards but this same process you’ve shown us can make a beautiful card , just modified with my existing stamps. Man, you’re so talented and inspiring, thank you!
I went through phases where I had a favorite color; it would change periodically. I was obsessed with purple for several year, maybe a decade. I even talked my father into painting the walls a purple that matched Villainous Potion. My bed cover and curtains were white eyelet. My final favorite color (years ago0 was a deep, deep green that had a little more blue than yellow in it.. I haven’t had a favorite color in many years; for at least a decade,. My last least favorite color was orange. Now, strangely enough, I find myself drawn to it before others when I have to make a choice.
Purple is fantastic! All the brightness and boldness of red with the sophistication of blue! Amazing color.
Purple is my favorite color! A whole month of purple cards would be awesome!! 💜💜💜
Absolutely stunning. A prime example of ‘less is more.’ Just love these. Thank you for sharing Kristina.
Purple IS amazing! And villainous potion is my favorite of all the distress colors. It's the most beautiful color.
Bring on the purple month! Purple is so versatile and beautiful. My favorite. 💜
I agree purple is a great color but what's even better is when it's paired with a sage green. Sooooo, pretty. Your cards are gorgeous. My favorite card is made with the greens and blues.
Can’t choose a favorite! Love all 3! Purple isn’t my thing - but do what makes you happy!!
Yes!!!! VILLAINOUS POTION all month long in February💜💜💜💜💜💜
Purple is my favorite color. The rich, cool tones of purple are my favorite.
Purple for crafting is absolutely beautiful, just not for anything else. In fact, you helped me love purple, but again, just for crafting cards.
Here I am again. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this. Just beautiful.
Purple is the perfect colour… and yes a purple month would be excellent!! Xx💜💜💜
I love that you are so passionate about purple, it is so fun to see you so animated and excited about the distress ink Reinker colors , beautiful colors and cards, they would look good with a stained glass effect , maybe with clear glossy accents or distress glaze…. So fun!!

Blues & greens are my favs. Purples remind me of beautiful sunsets.
Gurl....simplistic BEAUTY! Those color combinations are as awesome as your nails today.
Purple is my fav color. But my favorite of those beautiful cards is the blues and greens.
Purple and teal are colors that rock. 💜 those colors they are so pretty......
Yay! Love the Villainous Purple. Let’s do a purple month!
Oh my goodness, the purple with mustard seed is amazing. I thought it sounded strange as a combination but they both just make each other pop off the page. Gorgeous.
BEAUTIFUL, I love all shades of purple but if did not, just hearing your infectious description would make me love it.
Purple is not my favorite color, but I would not object to it being used. These were absolutely beautiful cards!!! Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Those colour combinations are so very beautiful. Purple is my favourite colour with turquoise a close second. 👏😊💕🇿🇦
I love purple. Our high school colors were purple and white, my first luggage was a light lavender, I even wished for a purple car at one time. Bring it on!
Gorgeous cards, Kristina! Purple, Purple, Purple…yes, yes, yes!
All the purples! Purple is underrated and under-used. Gorgeous cards!
I can see these as holiday cards just as well. Love purple as well as others. Love your enthusiasm.
Stunning! Stunning! Stunning! I'd absolutely love a purple month 💜
These fill me with such joy. I'm so glad I had time to watch this first thing in the morning!

Love, love, love these cards. So beautiful! All of them. Can't pick a favourite but I have to say purple is a gorgeous colour 💜
These cards are gorgeous and Purple month is a great idea. My poor crafty heart dropped when you said you did not make use of the left over ink. Otherwise this technique is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Purple is my FAVORITE color.....beautiful cards!!!!
Good grief, Charlie Brown! Those are stunning!
Yes to purple. When I owned my first home (after years of renting), I painted my bedroom EGGPLANT! Hugs from Maine.
My craft room (ok, so right now it’s a craft supply storage mess room) has eggplant on on wall - love it!

I like purple but I honestly think the green one is the best one 💚

This technique is genius, Kristina! Love it and the stamp - beautifully done!

Gorgeous cards and I love distress inks (and reinkers more too). Definitely a purple gal and Villainous Potion is on my next shopping list.
Villainous potion is so amazing! Love your cards.

Just. Gorgeous! And so wonderful to see you so psyched about something,,,, simply adorable. BTW, purple is one of my absolute fave colors.
Wow! Such beautiful backgrounds Kristina! Absolutely stunning,thanks for sharing.x
I’m 11 months late to the party and just received my Villainous Potion reinker in the mail yesterday. The stars aligned today when this video popped up on my feed. I 💜 💜💜purple and can’t wait to paint fall cards today!
Gorgeous!!!! Yes, love the idea of a purple month!!!
You were right, absolutely beautiful. Purple is my favorite color of all. I need to purchase that one
I love purple but don't seem to use it very often in my projects. I totally agree - stunning backgrounds!
Very beautiful! I AM a purple lover! It is my absolute favorite color! TFS
Green is my favorite color, but a deep jewel tone purple is a close second. When Tim started creating new colors, I kept griping about there needing to be an eggplant type purple. Villainous is close!
YES! I am a purple lover!! Your cards are so very beautiful I just want to keep looking at them!!! Thanks
Beautiful combination of colors! I've seen a few crafters use the reinkers for watercoloring. I think it's a great choice because there is now a huge selection of color.
The blue and green background is my favorite :-)
PURPLE ALL THE WAY!! Awesome cards, once again! Thank you!!

LOVE purples, especially with greens.

Purple always. always. always. :)

Love the purple! And the red/orange combo is fab for fall
