ALTENEW WATERCOLOR BRUSH MARKERS
Create stunning works of art with our Watercolor Brush Markers! The barrel is filled with water-based color, and coordinates with our line of inks. The flexible, yet sturdy bristles on the brush tip allow you to form both broad and fine strokes. Color can be applied straight from the marker, or diluted with water for a softer look.
SPRING CARD
Despite of the name of this set I made rather a springy card using it. I’m not in a Spring mode yet (not at all). This card is just happened.
I started by die-cutting several flowers and leaves out of a watercolor paper using the Delicate Primrose Die Set. Then I white embossed corresponding images onto the die-cuts.
I colored the flowers using the new markers using Ruby Red, Rouge, Citrus Burst, Lagoon and Persian Blue for flowers and Emerald for leaves.
Next I foam mounted a white panel onto a Real Gray card base. I made it about an inch narrower than the card base. Then I adhered the flowers onto the left side of the panel.
For the sentiment I die-cut word hugs using a die from the Script Words Die Set out of a Real Gray and Solar White Cardstock. I adhered the white die-cut in the the gray one with a slight shift to create kind of a shadow and popped the sentiment onto the card.
I finished off the card by adding several different embellishments.
First I added several gray sequins. And then small gems were added, some of which I placed into the sequins.

Svitlana, I think your card is rather springy, but sometimes when things happen, they happen fantastically; and that is what I think of your card-a fantastic floral bouquet! It reminds me of Hawaiian leis right now… . I must need some sunshine and change of scenery! 😉 I love the tones of your colors and I really appreciate the top view of your card looking down . That is just a really neat perspective we might not otherwise see and it lets us know how versatile these markers are. Thanks again for your creativity! And sharing it with us!
Laurie Black
