ALTENEW: Refresh Your Alcohol Markers Blog Hop + Giveaway


Altenew Beautiful Day | Coral Charm | Peony Bouquet | Remember This | Coloured with Artist Markers | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hello everyone!
You must be here from the Altenew Card Blog.
Welcome to Altenew Refresh Your Alcohol Markers Release!

I have just one project for you today. I didn't do anything fancy with the refills, I just refreshed my markers and coloured this bouquet of flowers.

Altenew Beautiful Day | Coral Charm | Peony Bouquet | Remember This | Coloured with Artist Markers | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

You might recognize this card. I made one exactly like this in watercolour using Fall colour palette a while back. I thought I'd recreate this using cooler tones and colour the images with Artist Markers.

Altenew Beautiful Day | Coral Charm | Peony Bouquet | Remember This | Coloured with Artist Markers | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I used blues from Cool Summer Night and Glacier Caves Set and Set. For the yellow, I used Summer Afternoon Set and Green Fields for the green.
I added a light colour wash of Moon Rock Watercolour to the background and added a few splatters. Then I popped up all the images on different thickness of foam tape.

ETA: Stamps used are Beautiful Day (light blue flower), Build-A-Flower:Coral Charm (blue flower), Remember This (yellow flower and floral bunch), Peony Bouquet (for the leaves), Climbing Clematis (for the sentiment)
