Hello crafty friends! Today we are celebrating the release of the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers! This is probably the most exciting Altenew product ever released (at least according to my humble opinion).
These markers are absolutely amazing cause the color selection is gorgeous, the ink is is vibrant and water-reactive and best of all, they have the most fantastic fine brush nib! There are similar products out there but the Altenew markers are my favorite because of their nibs. You can color any fine detail stamp sets or use them to line art work![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Make sure to read all the way through for all the giveaway details and of course visit the Altenew Card Blog and the Altenew Scrapbook Blog.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8141″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]So for today’s blog hop, I created a card using the markers. First I colored the background of my cardbase using a mix of Warm Sunshine, Autumn Blaze, Limeade and Midnight Violet.
I scribbled the markers on my Altenew Watercolor Palette to mix a more neutral shade and then I applied my custom color using a waterbrush.
I let that aside to dry and then I stamped the large floral image from the Inked Flora stamp set in Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink. I also stamped a couple of leaf images. I went for a very loose coloring style for both the flower and the leaves.

Oh my goodness… I would LOVE to give these a try since watercoloring is my favorite medium and actually the only coloring method I feel comfortable to use!
Thanks for the inspiration Zinia!

I have been looking for watercolor markers and these are actually ones that I would see myself using. I love making cards and I like how they can go from super dark, deep colors to soft. I absolutely love the flowers on your card!
What a wonderful car!!! Love the colors…bot most of all that sentiment is SO me!!! I use that saying a lot!!! Cannot wait to get my hands on the new goodies!!!
I don’t own watercolour brush markers as I am intimidated by watercolouring, although it is my very favourite medium in the art world. If I had these brushes, I’d try to paint images in a very loose way. I love the almost impressionistic look that lets you see what you are supposed to but leaves the backgrounds or other elements to your imagination. The colours you’ve used in your card are gorgeous!
Vibrant and super pretty! 🙂
Gorgeous, bold card! I would definitely use these watercolor brushes to make floral cards. I love how they can go from vibrant to soft so easily, and the set is a ready made palette of colors that go together.
I would use these for watercoloring images and getting awesome blended colors. 🙂
