Altenew has an exciting new release today, it’s time to refill those Artist Markers and we are hopping along to celebrate and you should have arrived here from the gorgeous GAYATRI’s Blog!
I decided to Yupo it up for the party and love how vibrant these colours turned out. I used the Inked Flora stamp set as I thought the outline was perfect for the watercolor’y look.
My heat embossed sentiment is from the Beautiful Lady Stamp Set and I couldn’t resist a few New Day Enamel Dots strategically (ie covering smudges) placed on the panel.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

Love this and will be trying it with my alcohol inks.
Lovely card. I don’t have the altenew markers..yet lol. But I definitely want to give them a try

So fun to see the ways to use these!!
Very pretty card, I use embellishments to cover “oopsies” also.

Such a gorgeous card! But I have to tell you I almost cried when you cut into it!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Such a fabulous card! Great idea for mass producing, and these colors could be used with a poinsettia stamp for Christmas!
And Yup it up you did! and like an expert! Nicely done on the flower card! Love it!
Really beautiful! I always enjoy watching your videos, you make me feel like I can also make beautiful cards.
Love your card Therese. It truly is beautiful. Need those marker refills!
Fabulous card!! Love the colors and the beautiful design! 🙂
Beautiful use of the alcohol inks, It’s not too much, but just perfect! I’m working on Christmas cards and see this as an idea for a lovely poinsettia card, too!
Lovely card, Therese. Your video shows me so many tricks. I know I would have done your sentiment strip differently and caused me a lot of angst!!! Thanks!
Your sweet giggle brightens my day every time I hear you! Your cards are always beautiful – thank you.
BEAUTIFUL; I love how these blend, sooo gorgeous!!
Love your artistic work and the balance added by the black enamel dots with the black sentiment strip!! Gorgeous!!

I’ve never been able to create a loose watercolor like that. Very pretty.
Gorgeous card!
Thanks for sharing…
Your card is fantastic ! I can never control my alcohol inks to use them like you did with a stamp. I will have to keep on with my training !
The Nuvo drops are also my best friends to cover all my “problems” – LOL !
Very pretty. I like the vibrant colors.
I loved your video! You are so much fun to listen to!!😀 I really enjoyed how you stamped an image over the alcohol ink to create a watercolor look. Clever! I have to try that. Your creations are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful card! I love your videos. They just make me smile!
Such beautiful, bright, vibrant color!!! Wonerful job! Thanks and have a blessed day!
I am glad they finelly come out with refills. I only have the first set and probably have discarded one because it was empty.
As always, another gorgeous card! Thanks for the video showing the refills. Love the bit of black paper to ground it together.
This is absolute stunner..love it!!
Gotta love those happy accidents! Guess we’ve all had them.
Your card is beautiful.
Beautiful Bold and Bright Therese.

Beautiful card, Therese. I love how it turned out. I have never used alcohol inks, but i must say it gets more and more tempting. 🙂

Beautiful card Therese. I really like the idea of inserting the greeting this way…Also a great way to colour and use a large image and not be overpowered by it…Big hugs Ali xx
This is so beautiful – I really like this technique. And this stamp set (actually pretty much all Altenew sets!) is perfect for it!
Beautiful card! I like the recessed sentiment – it really makes the flower pop!
I love the watercolor’y look you used on this card with the Refills, very vibrant and stunning! Thank you for the inspiration and video.
This card is just lovely! I don’t know how you worked out where to put the green for your leaves! Amazing! You always find a way to surprise us!
This is simply sublime, those colours and the simple image is stunning. I would never have known you could do all this with the refills, its amazing!!
You’ve gotta love those strategically placed embellishments….. what smudges?! Beautiful card Therese
Stunning Therese. Love the way you added those enamel dots…. Hiding the smudges but looking like they really should be there.
Beautiful card. I love the colors you used. Plus I don’t see any smudges…lol!!
Love the card so very much. The design is simple but so vibrant.
The colours are amazing. Thank so much for the video. I always learn a little something from how you out a card together.

A stunning card! The bright colors are incredible!
Awesome card, you are too funny with your comments.
Such a beautiful card, Therese! Your videos are always so much fun to watch!
Beautiful, love the look of alcohol markers. Now maybe I can actually afford to invest in some.
So lovely.. I am always surprised by using alcohol on Yupo paper. They make such wonderful backgrounds for these delicious large flower stamps. Nicely done..
Ooooh, Therese, this color looks absolutely JUICy! It’s so lush and bright! Love your pretty floral card!
stunning card – so bright and cheerful:)
Gorgeous card! Love the organic movement of the ink on the Yupo paper – fabulous!
I agree….. it is very much the time to refill my markers.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Love it so much . Thanks for the tips on your video.
Your video demonstrates how to turn a simple design into a stunning card. Absolutely love it.
Another beautiful CAS card. Love the bright colours and they are balanced with just the right amount of black.
Lovely watercoloring and
inking on your beautiful
flower card!

Gorgeous card! Thank you once again for a great video and the tips. I have never used alcohol inks but you have inspired me to try.
The ink spread beautifully on the Yupo and the colours were lovely.
Just love the effect of these refreshers! Beautiful!
luv the balance you achieved of those vibrant colors
Love the bright colors on your card. Great job. 🙂
Gorgeous colors! Love how you used them.
This is a gorgeous card. I can’t wait to try this technique. I can’t wait to see the new products available.
Wow, love yor card, great design and love love the colours used. Just love watching your videos.
The reinker did seem to move nicely on the Yupo. I must get some of that to play with.
What a gorgeous card!
I always love seeing what you create. This is gorgeous. Reinkers are so fun, and those dots, are sometimes my best friend when I’m creating to hide my boo boos too.
What a gorgeous card! Thank you for sharing!
Love your technique!
Your card is gorgeous!
You are amazingly talented – thanks so much for sharing your genius!
This is such a pretty card. I like how you did some intentional inking to make the flower mostly red and the leaves mostly green. And the bold sentiment in the middle cut out of the focal image is really cool. I’m going to have to try that. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful card. I need to try using the reinkers too!
Therese…..Your videos always make me laugh…..you just make it so much fun to watch you. Now, on to the beautiful card…I love the addition of that black cardstock with the sentiment….it really set off that floral image…I loved it…and a big thank you for always being so generous with your tutorials….I am a huge fan…..big hugs..
Gorgeous card. Big bright flower. Can’t believe you need to strategically place enamel dots.
Gorgeous card and beautiful colors! Thanks for the inspiration.
Love the free-for coloring. Makes a striking
background and design. thanks for sharing

You most defiantly chose the best image for this effect on your card, the video was greatly informative thank you & what a great idea for dots, smudge covers.
Therese, your colors are amazing! I love that coral color.
Beautiful card!! Love the bright and vibrant colors. The recessed sentiment between the split image is great.
I love this card. I don’t have Yupo paper or Alcohol refills, but I loved watching how you put this altogether.
Vibrant, artsy and gorgeous, Therese … this is just lovely! Hugs, Anita 🙂
