Hello and welcome to Altenew Alcohol Markers Release Blog Hop!
Our design team and amazing guest designers sharing creations using new exciting product – Altenew Artist Markers. 
You probably came from techniques and cardmaking guru Jennifer McGuire blog. If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at Altenew blog and see what other members of Altenew’s design team and guest designers sharing (and also you have a chance to win a prize).
I made two cards using these markers for today’s event. But before I start on cards let us have a moment and talk about the markers.
I’ll start with markers description first:
Altenew Artist Markers are alcohol-based, allowing you to beautifully blend colors to any stamped images. Our various range of stamps is perfect for these markers. 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 our existing ink colors, so you can take the color guessing game out of the way when coloring.
Altenew Artist Markers features:
– Alcohol Based
– Brush tip and fine tip on each end
– Organically designed for easy gripping
Included colors:
– Frosty Pink, Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Grapevine
– Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen, Jet Black
– Sea Glass, Ocean Waves, Dusk, Dessert Night
The markers are refillable and nibs can be replaced – Altenew will consider offering ink refills and replacement nibs in the near future.
And I want to share my personal honest opinion about these markers. In a nut shell – I was very impressed by them from the first try.
First of all I’m in love with the concept that they correspond to inkpad colors. Such a great option for Altenew ink lovers to have markers of the same colors and as was mentioned above – no guessing game of what ink better matches each marker.
One think you should be aware of – Altenew Crisp Ink do bleed when colored over with alcohol markers. Which on one hand may seem to be a flaw. But I personally find that this can be beneficial. As these markers are so close to in colors to inks, ink bleeding looks not so much like bleeding but more like blending out of outline color, which is great for no like coloring.
I like nibs of these markers. One is flexible, great for regular coloring and another is fine, for finishing touches or working out details. Sometimes makers can have a chisel tip, I personally almost never use this tip. So having more useful one is definitely a pro for me.
These are alcohol markers, but they don’t have strong alcohol smell when you’re working with them. I don’t really care about smell factor, just something to note.
And last but not least – they blend beautifully! I had so much fun coloring with them!!
Ok, I’m finishing my blabbling and coming down to business.
BASIC COLORING
For the first card I did basic coloring with these markers and Peony Scrolls stamp set was used here. I stamped floral cluster in the top third of white panel, using masking where needed during stamping.
The flowers were stamped with Ruby Red and leaves with Evergreen inks onto a white panel. Next I colored the stamped image with markers. Used R318, R304, R302 for flowers and G554, G715, G702 for leaves.
I used basic or regular, if you will, coloring technique. Starting from the lightest color, then adding a darker one in areas I wanted to add shadows and then coming with the darkest one.
And next I went the opposite manner, applying the middle shade to blend put the darkest one, followed by the lightest one, to achieve even more blending.
Using markers fine tip I also added several dots around floral cluster.
I stamped a sentiment from Painted Greetings, which first was stamped using Ruby Red ink and then, with small offset – with Jet Black one. I added several black sequins and clear droplets.
Finally the panel was foam mounted onto a red card base.
COLORING ON VELLUM
When it comes to alcohol markers one thing I like is that they can work almost on any surface, you’re not only limited by using paper. So for my second card I did coloring on vellum.
Coloring on vellum is a bit different from paper. In case of paper marker ink soaks into the paper and different colors blend together. Vellum is not so porous, marker ink does not soak in but stays on surface. And with each stroke new applying color does not blend with but replaces one that was applied before. So you won’t get the same result as you would do on paper, but can get a very interesting effects, something like stained-glass.
Another thing I have to mention – you want to color on the back side. That side where we color on vellum look rather ugly. But it doesn’t on the other side. Semi transparency of vellum hide all ugliness and what you can see through looks quite appealing.
For this my card I first white embossed a floral pick from Best Mom set and a sentiment from Penned Rose onto a vellum panel. Next I colored the pick using B227 and B313 markers (flowers) as well as G554, G715, G702 (leaves).
The panel then was adhered to a card base made out of Parchment Cardstock and several sequins finished off the card.

Gorgeous cards and fabulous showcase/review of the new markers! I’m daunted by the price of copics, living where I do in Canada, (which explains why I have but a handful that I don’t use because none blends with another…sighhhh) so these are a marvelous, fresh alternative! Love that they match the inks, which I do have and love! Thank you for the inspiration….
