Vintage Violet and what color?
Yes, this is a throwback! LOL I found two paks of vintage violet, an inkpad, and the ribbon. I've tried almost amythyst and am not crazy about it. Any ideas?

Have you tried going to this website:
http://scraptitude.com/colorcombo/
You can scroll through the colors and find Vintage Violet and then see if you like any of the suggested combos.

ideas
I used these colors with VV:
So Saffron
Night of Navy
Old Olive
I think just about any of the Earth Tones can go with it!

Hey...I LOVE Almost Amethyst with it!! Just try telling me you don't like this card!! LOL
Ok...it's not a combo for everyone...so I will say that I also love it with Soft Sky or with Cool Caribbean and white.

Another vote for So Saffron. I liked Vintage Violet when it was a current SU color but then I was stupid and sold my paper and the ink pad is gathering dust.

I liked the VV with the bashful blue, with a bit of going grey in it. =)

Vintage Violet
I've used Pink Piroutte with a strip of Night of Navy - great contrasts!

almost amethyst is vintage violets dynamic duo, I think, if I am remembering correctly...
But it looks great with artichoke or celery as well as many of the other colors mentioned.
