Altenew has just released Artist Markers set B and C. They are alcohol based markers perfect for coloring and blending and are a perfect medium for adding color to the Altenew stamps.
I created two cards. I created a background in two different hues: one red/pink and the other blue. I used some marker paper which is smooth and you can blend the colours easily. I coloured and ombre effect background.
For the card below I cut out a cover using the Leaf cover die from Altenew and placed it over my background. Then I stamped and heat embossed a feather from the Golden Feather stamp set and coloured it using the red/pink markers from set C. For the sentiment I picked a sentiment from the Happy Holiday Stamp set and embossed it with Platinum embossing powder. I also used this powder for the feathers.
For the second card I went with the blue background and added a feather at the bottom using the same techniques as for the one above.

Both examples show the vibrancy of the marker colours well. Both are stunning.

Very pretty backgrounds for the feathers. My fave is the pink one. Right now I just use markers to color but I have a feeling I am going to be inspired on the blog hop.

Great cards! I have the Striped Leaf cover plate, it is amazing!!
What a fun way to use the markers. I particularly love your pink card.
Your cards are beautiful thank you.
Is there any concern about the markerz nibs and embossing, like there is with copics. Lovely leaf and feather card.
Awesome cards!
Wow gorgeous cards! I must pin them for inspiration! :)
I love the colors of the alcohol pens. I would most likely use them to color in stamped images for cards.

Beautiful! I love that blue feather!
Beautiful cards, love the brushstroke look backgeound! I’m new to these alcohol markers (I have set A) and I usually color flowers simply starting with lightest shade of a color.
So pretty. Great coloring. Can't wait to get these markers. I love the first set.
Love these and how the colors come together (:
Love the awesome creation! I am still a newbie at using markers, but my favorite thing to do now is to use them on adult coloring book!
ʚ♡⃛ɞ(ू•ᴗ•ू❁)I'd use them to color my stamp images.
Beautiful backgrounds. I love using my markers to create faux watercolor effects with my stamps.
THese markers are really fun. I love using them from altenew because the blends are already thought out for you... three together make the perfect coloring shades and tones! I also love that they match the Inks
So creative! thanks for sharing your ideas.
Awesome cards! Your blue ombré feather card goes to show that simple IS beautiful! So excited to get these new markers! TFS! 🤞✨🤞✨🤞
Beautiful cards...i love the pink card..
Very cool cards! Love the blending of colors! 💞
Beautiful cards! I love how you created the blue background.
I haven’t done too much with markers - mainly coloring stamped images. Love the idea of creating cool backgrounds too!
The feathers are beautiful.
Love the backgrounds for them.
thanks for sharing.
I've not thought of coloring a simple background with the markers, Great inspiration, Thank YOu!
Beautiful cards !
Such two great different cards using the same basic technique, both are very pretty but We love the red/ pink one the most, I want to have a go at this in the future, thank you for showing me x
Like how you incorporated the feather into the cards. Backgrounds show off the beautiful marker colors!
Gorgeous colors! I'd love to try these markers to blend shadows to create depth. I'm new to alcohol markers and would love to try these!
Love the colors within these markers. I dont color with markers yet as they haven't been in my budget..
pretty cards - love the die cuts and the feather.
So different but lvoe them both!
Beautiful cards! Excited about these new marker sets!
I like your scribbled ombre backgrounds, simple but effective way to use the markers. Can you use these markers with embossing, copic say not to use theirs as it mucks up the nibs. I usually used markers to shade and colour outline images. I've never thought of using them for alcohol technique backgrounds before.
I so need to do more with markers. I have been printing out coloring pages, fussy cutting things out, and coloring them to make different embellishments for my scrapbook pages. These markers would work well for that!!
Great idea to use a cover plate over a marker background! Great cards!
I wish I had something to offer. I’m looking for inspiration myself.
Such pretty cards ! Lovely shades! These new marker sets look great! X
Eek! Just so pretty. Thanks for sharing!
Stunning cards! Love the vibrant colors.
I especially like the red one with the diecut over it! Feathers are gorgeous!
Love those gorgeous backgrounds. You make elegance look so easy!
Loving the ombre on these cards! Beautiful!
Fantastic combinations of dies and stamps. Coloring is amazing. My skills of coloring with markers are ˝poor˝I use markers mostly foe background. Must practice more and by some more colours.
I love these, the feathers are gorgeous!
Love both of your cards
Amazing cards and background.. love them all.
Beautiful! I really love the first one with the leaf stencil - so pretty!
Beautiful ways to use these really awesome markers.
Such pretty cards and I always love seeing gold embossing!
I love the marker colors of both cards. 2 totally different looks! I can't decide which one I like best. Great cards. Thanks for sharing!
These are two wonderful cards ! Sadly I can't answer to your question since I don't own any of these markers.

I usually use markers to color because the colors are so vibrant. I haven't tried the sombre look yet, but you make it look so easy, I have to try it.
Beautiful cards!! I love the embossing!
Great cards. I especially love the leaf cover die one.
I love both of your cards and what you did with the markers. You guys are amazing with how you use these markers. I have a few markers from another company and I can never get them to do what everyone else does with them. Will you teach me?
I'm on the fence about the feather stamp. While I like it and I love how you embossed the one on the blue card I don't know if I would ever use them. However, your 2 cards are beautiful! I love the sentiment on your blue card.I'd like to have that one.
Thanks for showing us your colorful cards and for showing us how to use these markers. Thanks also for giving us the chance to win something. When I win, I want to buy these markers and get them to do what you did.
Superb effects of what can be done with Altenew markers and stamp sets. Just wonderful. TFS XX
Simply beautiful Lilith and the embossed feather on each of your cards looks amazing with the rich colours.
While both your cards are lovely, I absolutely adore the second card. So elegant.
So Pretty, love the feathers. Now I will need a set. :)
Fabulous cards! I love the backgrounds you created. Looking forward to trying these markers out.
Fun projects. Love the gold embossing. TFS
Such talent!
