Does colouring with alcohol markers scare you? Today I have a very EASY technique to colour flowers, seriosuly, anyone can do this!
But first did you know that Altenew has a new Paint-A-Flower and Artist Marker release! And to celebrate we are hopping along at Altenew so you should have arrived here from SEEKA’s amazing Blog!
Today I was inspired by Yana Smakula and her card and video HERE, I loved the way she coloured her flowers and I just had to give this technique a try for myself. I used the Sunshine Valley Garden Set of Artist Markers.
And I thought the Simple Roses Stamp Set was a great choice for this style of colouring. I blended my own background with the Cool Summer Night colours.
And finally added a sentiment from the Hello and Hugs Stamp and Die set.
You can see my video or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Such a fun technique, with gorgeous results, Therese!

So very pretty! And you are right, I think I could manage this technique. New marker sets, oh my the budget is going to be shot this month.
Really pretty. I like the way you made this so simple. I am just learning
Hi, Therese. So easy!! I never thought of NOT blending the artist markers. It was right there in front of me and it didn’t occur to me. Thanks for sharing! I bought four sets of the artist markers and I wonder if these new sets you are using have all new colors? Or are they the same colors grouped differently?
These new markers are ALL new colours, so there will be no duplicates if you already have any of the previous sets. Hope this helps, thanks so much for your lovely comments!
Very, very pretty as usual.
As always, such a beautiful card!
Thanks for sharing your coloring technique…
This cartoony style of colouring looks great on these flowers. The blue background is perfect for those pinks.
As always fabulous coloring and design Therese! Thanks for the videos and inspiration! Have a wonderful day!
Lovely as always. You have such a wonderful coloring sense. Thank you for the video, love your work.
Beautiful coloring!!
The new release is so exciting! And I love the gorgeous inspiration! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video! This is beautiful and I may have to try alcohol markers yet! I think I would order the garden valley set because of the color range! We’ll see!
I love the look of your coloring! going to try that for sure!
I forgot my plan crafting yesterday lol. This is a great technique- thank you so much for showing us.
Very unique and pretty card.
Such a fabulous color combo, Therese!!
Love the new colours. Bright and beautiful. I’ve seen Yana use this technique on several occasions and it really is very effective. It just gives projects a more contemporary look. Your card today is beautiful. I love the way you layered the flowers and complemented it with the layered sentiment. Brilliant ❤️
What an awesome technique!! BTW…I could listen to you talk all day! :)~Kim
Beautiful card Therese! I love the background and have been wanting to try this technique for a while. Two new sets of artist markers….whoohoo! 🥰
Simply stunning! Loving this release!
Beautiful card!
Really enjoyed your video. Your color choices are beautiful as is the coloring.
What a great coloring technique. Beautiful card. Always great info and help on a hop stop here. Thanks.
Gorgeous! Those flowers just pop off the page. Just stunning.
What a beautiful card.
Gorgeous blooms and love this coloring style! Thanks for another amazing video tutorial.
OMG! Great colors! And the set of 4 colors make it “nearly” idiot-proof for me to get great dimension in my blending. I need all the help I can get, so this “no-blending” technique fits the bill. Thank you…and to Yana Smakula for this great idea.
I didn’t see the Artist Markers Labels on their website….is this new?
Hi June, Altenew have had Artist Markers for years, at the shop blog look under the tab ‘Coloring’ and you will see ‘Alcohol Markers’. Hope this helps, Crafty hugs Therese
So beautiful! I really appreciate your overview of the markers at the start, I’m just getting into alcohol markers so I’m still building my collection and it is nice to learn about the different types!
I love how the pink pops from the blue background!
Stunning! I love the shading of the flowers.
Well, these cards are fun and what a cool technique. Never would have never thought to NOT blend alcohol markers. I have to try this. The results are great.
Beautiful design and coloring on your lovely card!
Wow, Therese! Just gorgeous!
This is lovely and your color choice is perfect. I really like the way you used Yana’s technique using more of an oval shape.
Altenew’s Simple Roses is a day brightener, especially on that gorgeous blue background. I love the way you used more of an oval shape with Yana’s technique. You’ve inspired me to give it a whirl!
Yuppers I love the unique and wonderful way Ms. Yana colors, but you duplicated the incredible beauty perfectly. I love this very much!
So excited for the new colors.
I am not real big on florals but I love this stamp set! I also love this way of colouring! It gives it a retro feel and I am here for it!
Love your pretty card!!!!!! Makes me wish for warmer days outside and all my flowers blooming around the house. 🙂
Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing this coloring technique.
love how you did the background and the way the “HUGS” is done. The card is just stunning!
I love this coloring technique! Your card is so pretty!
What a great card. I had already seen Yana’s style of coloring but had not tried it. I am looking forward to trying the method especially after watching what you do on this card.
Nice coloring. I like the grouping and layers. Great arrangement.
Your card is lovely! The markers are blending so beautifully that the flowers look alive. Well done!
Really gorgeous card
A gorgeous card, Therese! I watched Yana showing how to do that simple colouring too, but as always I still haven’t tried it!! I think I’ll have to now!! 🙂 Thanks so much for the great inspirational video ! Take care! 🙂
Love this simplified technique! Thanks for the link to Yana’s website. She takes this “simple” technique to a whole new and beautiful level. You have inspired me with your beautiful card!
Gorgeous! I can’t wait to try the technique. It looks like a lot of fun.
Beautiful card!
I love your coloring technique.
Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous card! The background color really sets off the pink of the roses! I love the combination.
Such a beautiful card design as always. I love your color palette. Your videos are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your ideas and tips!
This is my favourite!! Love the background & colours together and the cartoonish look of the flowers!
I, too, saw Yana demonstrating that coloring technique, but I wasn’t convinced I could pull it off. You’ve inspired me to give it a try. Your card is gorgeous and I love those new marker colors.
Your card is great. Never seen blending markers used this way.
Thank you so much for that video of how you created this beauty!
I have always been fearful of using alcohol markers. Thank you for the very clear instructional video.
This is a great technique to do if you are a beginner and want to get used to the feel of the markers.
Love the bright pink flowers against the blue background. Will have to come back and watch the video! I’m sure there are some great tips in there 😉
Great color combination to showcase the release.
I am absolutely in love with your beautiful card! I can’t believe you made that background yourself, too! WOW!
This is an awesome technique if you don’t have much time or patience! Gorgeous card!
I do like that way of coloring with the artists markers
Pretty card! I love the playful look of those flowers. 🙂
Wow! such gorgeous rich colours!
