Hello all! Today I have the honor to be a part of the Altenew Alcohol Markers Release Blog Hop!!!
If you arrived here from amazing CAS card maker, Nicole Picadura's blog, you are right on track. If you want to start the hop from beginning, please go to Altenew blog.
Altenew released new Alcohol marker set which is now available in the Altenew Store. The official name is Altenew Artist Marker Set A which coordinates with the colors of already existing Altenew Crisp Dye Ink sets: Green Fields, Cool Summer Night and Red Cosmos.
Altenew Artist Markers are alcohol-based, allowing you to beautifully blend colors to any stamped images. You can also easily pair them with Altenew Crisp Dye Inks to take your coloring to the next level! The colors in this set are designed to be as close as possible to the existing ink colors, so you can take the color guessing game out of the way when coloring.
Altenew Artist Marker Set A features:
- Alcohol Based
- Brush tip and fine tip on each end
- Organically designed for easy gripping
Included colors:
- Red Cosmos: Frosty Pink, Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Grapevine
- Green Fields: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen, Jet Black
- Cool Summer Night: Sea Glass, Ocean Waves, Dusk, Dessert Night
Price: $44.99 ($3.75 each)
I had a blast coloring with the new Altenew markers. It is so juicy and blends so well. They are composed as color families, so you don't need to search for the matching colors.
I made three cards. Hope you enjoy it.
My first card is featuring the Adore You stamp set, my new favorite Altenew stamp :). I used masking while stamping the flower cluster in alcohol marker friendly black ink on Canson watercolor cardstock. After all the stamping was done, I colored the background first using Gansai Tambi watercolor. I added some orange and green on the flowers and leaves as well and splattered the same color to finish off my background. I then colored the image with Altenew markers. I used all four shades of Red Cosmos for the flowers and three shades of Green Fields for the leaves. I trimmed the panel to 4" x 6" and mounted it flat on the card base. I stamped and colored two big flowers on another white cardstock, fussy cut them, curled up the petals and adhered them on the flowers of the front panel using some foam adhesive for some dimension. To pop up the stamen I colored them using silver gel pen. I chose the sentiment from the Floral Shadow stamp set to match with the watercolor look.
The second card is in CAS style with a pretty bow from the Bejeweled stamp set as focal point.
As my two other cards are floral and show the Red Cosmos and Green Fields, I wanted to make a blue themed card. The thought I had in mind was a wrapped present decorated with a bow. I started off by stamping the bow from Bejeweled stamp set in black and colored it with four shades of Cool Summer Night markers. I then drew circles in various sizes on a white card stock using a pencil and compass. I colored them in blue along with a bit of green using Frayed Leaf marker. I cut 4 squares from it and foam mounted it on the card base, on which I stuck a light blue cardstock slightly smaller than A2, so that it looks like a wrapped present. I added some silver thread and the fussy cut bow on the center. The sentiment is from the same stamp set, white heat embossed on a piece of green cardstock and tagged to the bow. For some bling I added a clear rhinestone on the eyelet of the tag.
For my last card I went with no-line coloring.
To start off I stamped the flowers and branches from the Remember This stamp set several times on a white cardstock in light pink and light green respectively. I then colored the images using Altenew markers and die cut them all using coordinating dies. Set the die cut images aside, I prepared the card base by blending blue and green Distress inks and adding some white splatters. I then cut a white woodgrain cardstock in an angle to give the flower cluster a platform which was mounted using foam adhesive on the card base. After I assembled the flower cluster onto the card I added the white heat embossed sentiment from Bejeweled stamp set. To finish off I scattered a few clear sequins.
I had so much fun coloring using the new Altenew markers. You can control the pressure and the direction of your strokes so easily with the soft brush tip. Even thin lines were no issue with brush tip.
Here again my three creations together :)!

This is absolutely gorgeous colouring of these pretty images TaeEun and the pens look great. I love the that the set has several tones of one colour which helps to get a good blend. The cards you have made with them are fabulous with lots of dimension on the first and the pretty diagonal line of blooms with the beautiful blended background and the clever way your four panels with the lovely bow on top form a delightful parcel. x
I am in awe of these beautiful cards! I have been trying no-line watercoloring, and have not been able to create something as beautiful as your floral card!
Your colouring is amazing! The bow looks 3D! Fabulous!
What a wonderful treat to view not one, but THREE of your gorgeously coloured floral creations, TaeEun. You have definitely shown us how amazing these markers are when wielded by someone as talented as you.
What absolutely gorgeous cards. Your coloring is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
The new markers seem to produce a beautiful depth of color, the better to color the gorgeous flowers that Altenew does so well! The beautiful bow is something I probably wouldn't have looked at before, but now it is going on my must-have list!
Your blending is fabulous! I see I'm not the only one who thinks your present card is just incredible.

Your no line coloring card is remarkable. Truly beautiful. Looking forward to using these markers.
Gorgeous! No line coloring is amazing!
Each card is a delight. Your "blues" gift box uses a great color combo--I'm partial to blue--but what you did with the no line coloring has me definitely wanting to try this. Thanks!
All three of your cards are stunning and the colouring is amazing.
The colors just pop. I especially love the blue card!
Your cards are great. I especially like the composition of the third one. I may want to CASE it:) I love that the colors have already been matched to take the guesswork out just like with Altenew's inks.

Wow your cards are eye candy. I want to keep looking at them.
Wow these are gorgeous cards and I love the colors. Can't wait to get my hands on these new markers, they look amazing. Awesome job coloring especially the package, I love them all!
Wow, I love you're coloring! On that first card with those beautiful red flowers from the Adore Me stamps it looks like a picture, not like someone colored it. Then you made part of the flower raised. It's such a stunning card. I wish I could make one like that. I don't have a die cutter but if I fussy cut that part out I could possibly make one too.
I have a thing for circles. I don't know why but I do. I have a circle background stamp that is wooden and some circles that are not mounted so you can use one, two or all of them. I just love how you used the bow and the circles together. That blue/green color is so pretty! Great card!
I love flower stamps and your last card has some pretty flowers. I love your coloring too! I also see you used some sequins which I love to use so much! Sometimes a card just needs a few sequins and it's all finished.
You made 3 beautiful cards! I can't wait to win something so I can make some beautiful cards too.
Wow, your colorful is amazing! The images look to realistic and really pop off the paper!
Yes thank you for the inspiration.
Lovely circles and bows on your card!
Wow! I love your style and how you used these new markers to create these great cards
Your cards are beautiful. I love how you have used the new markers, thanks for the inspiration!!
Gorgeous coloring and shading on your beautiful cards! Love that these markers coordinate with the inks! Fabulous!
The colour range you achieved on the card with the bow is truly amazing considering you just used the 4 blue shades
Three absolutely beautiful cards! Love the colours on your present card & your no line colouring is amazing!
Wow! The flowers on all of your cards are just gorgeous! The bow on the second card is fantastic, too! You've showed off these new markers beautifully!
The bejeweled bow card is lovely! The bow looks so dimensional
Your cards are so beautiful. I am in awe of your talent.
I really love how these colors turned out on these new markers. They are beautiful! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous design!
Amazing blending skills. Those circles and bow look so 3 dimensional!
WOW! Your cards area absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for sharing. Thought I had a favorite...but truthfully, I just can't pick just one.
