NEED SUGGESTIONS FOR LIGHT PURPLE COLORED CARDSTOCK
Alas, I have exhausted by old stash of Bazzill textured cardstock that was a light sort of periwinkle color and can't find a replacement. Most of the light purples I find are too violet. Question: what cardstock color works well with images colored with Copics in the BV series, most specifically BV0000, BV000, BV01, or BV02. Thanks everyone!

The sets come with a xeroxed sheet with colored swatches, but over time I've used colors and some are missing.
Both are lavender though look good with the Copics. (The 0000 is more lavender than the 04, which is more a true periwinkle.)
A Stampin' Up color called Highland Heather leans more toward periwinkle (more blue). I have very little SU paper, and it's in yet another sample pack.
If you like I can send you a small strip or square of each of the three colors. If so, just email me your name/address using the drop-down at my name.
It's so tough when a color we like goes away! BTW, what is the name of the Bazzill paper you've run out of?

Thanks Beth for the suggestions and the offer. I saw the Sour Grape online and I will definitely check it out at my local store. My friend is a SU user/demonstrator so I am sure she has the paper you are referring to (I think she has every color of SU paper...LOL).
If neither of those work, I might take you up on your offer for the Lavender Moon. Unfortunately, I bought this paper a very looooong time ago and they weren't putting the strips on the edge so I don't know the color. Ironically, I didn't use it up before because it was too bluish for my inks and now it's perfect with my Copics. Go figure. LOL. Thanks again for your help.

What about the retired SU color Almost Amethyst? I don't have the copics to compare to it, but I have some paper in my purge pile. It is definitely on the blue side.

Thanks Diane, I will definitely check it out. Hopefully my SU friend has the "old" stuff too. LOL.

What about the new in color purple posy? I know there is no ink pad because they couldn't get the color to work right, but I think they continue to sell the cardstock. Also check seaside spray.

Thanks Kathy, That's a pretty color and I will definitely check it out. Headed to my friend's tomorrow to scour her SU purple paper collection.
