Hello there! Happy 2017 and thank you for spending some time with me! I am so excited to share a tutorial with you featuring some fun products! (I also have a giveaway and a product discount code, so make sure to read through the blog post!)
Altenew just released a brand-new, fresh and hot product – Artist Markers! They are so much fun to work with and very easy to use with your favorite stamps.
These markers are alcohol based and come with 4 shades of each color family, just like Altenew’s Crisp Dye Inks. Color guessing game can be a frustration when coloring stamped images, so with these shades, you do not have to worry about color combinations!
I used the Hibiscus Bouquet stamp set to create the project with the Artist Markers. This stamp set is not yet available on its own, but you can get it early as a special bundle!
For this project, I used the Jet Black Crisp Dye Ink to stamp the outlined stamp and colored with the markers. Since the ink pad is water based, be careful not to go over the black line too much when coloring as they will smear. (Altenew is coming out with permanent black ink you can use it with these markers real soon!)
You can easily add details using these markers onto solid/layer stamped image using the dye inks, though. Detailed shading and partial shading can be achieved with just a few strokes!
Since the markers and the inks are formulated differently, you will see some colors are not matched 100%. These markers are designed to complement the inks, not necessarily match the colors. You can see the stamped ink colors and scribbled marker colors side by side in the reference chart above. I created this chart so you can easily see them in person. You can also download your own chart here. This will help you understand the colors better to use them to their maximum potential!
So when assembling the card together, I stamped the leaves directly onto the card layer with some of our inks and then added a bit of shading using the Forest Glades marker. A perfect way to using both the ink and the marker to get the look you want!
Give the Artist Markers a try! These are not only great for seasoned color enthusiast but also would be a great set for coloring newbies to start with to get better at color combination and blending.

This is fantastic! I love it!
Wow, really excited about the new markers and your card is lovely, love the simplicity of it. I dont own any copic markers but may invest in these to go with the altenew inks I have.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to try these markers myself.
As I stated in your YT tutorial, “Absolutely “stunning” Nicole! Geez I love your cards!!! Amazing that ALT has come out with some alcohol-based markers and hopefully will compete with our Copics – I am a firm believer in competition and feel it not only improves the quality of products but also drives more competitive pricing! Looking forward to giving these a try, even though I have many of the Copic markers. TFS Nicole!”

The more I see of these markers the more I’m thinking they may be good to invest in. I am not a colourer but I challenged myself that this is year I’m going to give it a try. I don’t have any markers and these seem quite reasonably priced

I truly am a fan of ALTENEW and maybe this year I will win one of these Fabulous prizes!!
Thanks for showing so many techniques. I keep waiting on getting alcohol markers because they are such a big investment and I never know where to start. They are a little intimidating. These seem like a good starting set.
I just purchased all the ink cubes. I think I’m going to have to purchase the matching markers.
Very pretty card. I have not dabbled in alcohol markers, so I agree that these markers seem like a good way to get my feet wet. Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win.
