Yeah that video is fabulous!!!
If you put 'distress inks' in the 'Search Products up on the right hand side - it will bring up all the refills, stains and the ink pads available!
Oooh yes......and the pearl mists I love!! I've got Turquoise and Interference Red (which is really a pink!) So if you put in 'Pearl Mists' in the search box... all the colours come up.
These work best on dark paper - the darker the better as it leaves an iridecsent shimmer - gorgeous! They work a little differently than the usual mists do.

Um ok this is SLIGHTLY embarassing but I fell in love with distress inks at Paperific in Melbourne August last year and bought a set online for myself for Christmas before I bought ANYTHING else! They're what got me back into papercraft. I have tags I've made that live in my handbag so I can check which colours I already have when I go shop at Babinda (I keep promising Lee-Anne I'll post a pic here - she thinks it's hilarious ).
Here goes nothing: Rusty Hinge Wild Honey Mustard Seed Shabby Shutters Crushed Olive Bundled Sage Old Paper Frayed Burlap Pumice Stone Forest Moss Aged Mahogany Victorian Velvet Spun Sugar Tattered Rose Barn Door Dusty Concord Milled Lavender Chipped Sapphire Stormy Sky Broken China Tumbled Glass
Looks kind of excessive when you list them like that
I tend to buy them in threes because I pick up a three pack of daubers at the same time...
I definitely want some of the browns/vintage colours, and it was a big oversight not to buy black soot first up, but I've made do with Stazon and versacolor black up until now.
"Hello my name is Christine and I'm addicted to distress inks...."
thanks for the tip Mandy, been meaning to ask i have forever green and it didnt show up well on white, maybe its the operator though!!! dont really know how to use my mists, probally why they sit there!! will have to wathc video.
I bought the fist ones as a "pack" - I think they were the colours he released in 2009 (I wasn't in Cairns and hadn't discovered scraptherapy yet) but have certainly added to my collection since moving up north.
I did wonder if I may have been better off buying the reinkers instead of the pads (I've mainly used them for colouring printed images) but now that I've started buying the pads I kinda want the whole set
Thanks for posting Karen - I don't feel so bad now . No wonder you want the new ones - you must just about have the whole set LOL! They're just so versatile! Not to mention affordable at the scraptherapy shop - I won't mention names but I've seen them advertised for up to $12.95 each...
