**VIDEO+GIVEAWAY+SALE** Easy Color Blending w/ Altenew Artist Markers

January 10, 2017

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.

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!”

    May the new year is a much brighter and happier one for all of us- Happy New Year 💕 
#scrapsandstamps #alcoholink #2021 #newyear #altenew
    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁
#scrapsandstamps #holidaygifts #handmade
    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

#scrapsandstamps #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homeoffice #srudio #givethanks
    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches
    Hello, beautiful! (Yes, you!) ❤️ Spring (or summer) floral wreath 🌼🌺 - created effortlessly with brand new stamp from #altenew 💕 sending early summer warmth to your way, hope you are having a great week! 🥰🥰 #scrapsandstamps #handmadecards #handmade #cardmaking #layeredstamping #altenewblossomwreath
    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

#calligraphy #brushlettering #handlettering
    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
