Magenta cardstock: what colours do you like with it?
In preparing for all the new colours, I'm trying to use up my old colour stock. I have a lot of magenta card stock, and I'm looking for some suggestions of striking or pleasing colour combinations. Usually I use it with black and one of the blues. Anyone have another idea?

I just used this color on Saturday!!! Not one of my favs, but LOVED it paired with yo-yo yellow & night of navy. We used the marble techinique & the colors were outstanding!
yeah I agree with Amy. I just used it with sage shadow! I only ever had 3 sheets from a multipack. In almost 2 years of stamping I am now down to a half sheet!
Taken with Teal and Summer Sun. I know it sounds bright, but I really love the results. I got the idea form one of the spectrum pads which actually has those color combinations.
I also like monochromatic stuff with MM cardstock and ink and USV or USW.
I just received a card from regionals using magenta and mint melody. Now I've been using it like crazy (also a good way to get rid of 2 retiring colors)

I'm trying to use up my retiring cardstock, too...
At my workshop last night I paired Mauve Mist with Marvelous Magenta and it was a nice look.
I like the other ideas given, too - looks like I'll be "playing" more this afternoon!
I used it recently with taken with teal and it looked pretty good, the card is in my gallery if you would like to take a look, it is not my favorite card but you can see what it looks life when really used together.
