Do you struggle with alcohol marker shading? Today I share 5 easy tips that I use every time I colour!
But first, this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from JOY’s wonderful Blog.
Yet another gorgeous Project Kit release from Altenew and this one is the Garden Rose! I had an urge to colour today so I used Artist Markers and you can find my video linked below with some easy colouring tips for you!
I was struggling with mojo this week, it was a ‘no mojo’ week… so clean and simple won.
…including the sentiment which is a fabulous font from the Garden Rose Stamp Set.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Your card says it all Therese…beautiful ❤️ Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I swear I can smell them, they are so realistic! Gorgeous coloring on this beautiful stamp, Therese!
=]
You always makes these stamps come alive!
Thanks for those very timely tips, Therese. I also have just picked up my markers after a long break of using other mediums, and was feeling very rusty using them. It was very encouraging to hear you say that you were having the same feeling – although you would never guess from the beautiful results you achieved. Thanks for all the inspiration
Beautiful coloring on this gorgeous card. I don’t have alcohol markers but I watched this just to see you work!
Lovely..I am hoping Altenew comes out with a stamp, die, stencil, and embossing folder where the embossing folder is the exact same design and can be used to emboss the individual flower(s) and leaves of the stamp, die, and stencils set…(not just a separate design from the stamp, die and stencils).
Thank you for all the coloring tips! Your card is simply gorgeous!
Thank you, Therese! It’s been a while since I’ve done any coloring. So, after watching your video, I feel inspired again. I appreciate you sharing your tips. I can’t wait for my Kit to arrive.
What a perfect card, your execution is awesome!
Gorgeous CAS and coloring!

You struggle with mojo? Nice to know it effects everyone and thank you for sharing with us.
I think I have all the Altenew marker sets, and I have a difficult time finding the right colors due to the odd numbering system, so I have switched to the Nuvo Tri-blends– so much easier!
I am trying all your tips on color shading and they really help me get better results. Patience, however, is not in my nature!
Yes, I struggle with alcohol markers. Thanks so much for the tips. Your card is beautiful (you certainly chose the right sentiment!).
