Did you know that you can colour with alcohol markers on Hot Foil images? I haven’t tried this technique before and I wanted to give a try!
But first, a BIG Welcome as this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from the ALTENEW Blog.
For my little experiment I used the beautiful Flowery Bouquet Hot Foil Plate and the Altenew Artist Markers.
I used Hammermill cardstock to get a good foiling result but still have cardstock that I could ‘colour on’. Though I have to say that the Neenah is much easier to colour on using Alcohol Markers, but that may be because that is all I have used for the past few years lol.
I decided to go with a ‘black’ foiled image to give the look of a stamped image, but if you look closely it’s shiny and has a slight impression. I will try a different colour foil next time, what do you think? Have you used alcohol markers with foiled images yet?
My next design uses the fabulous Rainbow Burst Hot Foil Plate.
I did some simple washes of watercolour and die cut these bright beautiful flowers from the Layered Ornate Frame Die Set.
And for both card designs I used the Sweet Sentiments Hot Foil Plates and co-ordinating Die Sets. Altenew totally nailed it with these!

Gorgeous cards! Wow! I need to look at the release.
Therese, I love the font Altenew has used for their Sweet Sentiments! A must have to add to my foiling stash! Two gorgeous makes!
=]
Love the coloring on the flowers and you can never go wrong with foiling! 🙂
Oh my goodness, Foiling scares the dickens out of me. Your cards are beautiful and make me want to face my fears. Thank you
Yes I have used artist markers on hot foil and I love the look, Therese. I haven’t tried it with black but did get some for my birthday so I’m anxious to foil this same image. I opted for the stencil instead and may still use them with the black.
Gorgeous cards and sets. Yes, I’ve colored on hot foiled images with alcohol markers, colored pencils, watercolors. I also use Black Foil and it looks great for sentiments. TFS your inspiration.
I love the soft colors on your first card and the Rainbow Burst background is really cool! Beautiful cards!
Geogeous cards. I love the soft colors
Beautiful projects!!!
Beautiful cards!
Love the colors you’ve used on your first card! These are both pretty, Therese!
Like the black foiling. No haven’t yet used alcohol markers with foil, now I will
Beautiful cards. Love the colors you selected
Gorgeous cards, Therese. This is a fantastic release. I love the foil plates, especially the Rainbow Burst. It adds so much interest and dimension.
I usually hot foil in golds, but I am definitely going to try the black foil.
Also love how you used just the flowers from Layered Ornate Frame die set (of course, orange and pink!) 🙂
Love both! Gorgeous designs!
I always love your cards. These are very impressive. I’ve not tried foiling yet. But I might from looking are your cards.
Wow!! Gorgeous cards!!!
I like the first card the most with the clean crisp black lines that were created by the black foil
Beautiful cards! The first is my favorite. I love those flowers.
I love how you coloured both sets of flowers and the foiling.
I don’t have either………alcohol markers or foiling stuff……but I’m gonna try and recreate your card. Flowery Bouquet card is absolutely stunning!
Your cards are very beautiful Therese
Gorgeous cards and another great release.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards! I have to get a foiling machine! Oh, Santa…..
I haven’t tried to foil with black and haven’t colored foil with alcohol markers, but this inspires me to give it a shot, Therese! I have had as good results using foiling on Neenah as on the Hammermill.
Both are so pretty! Love your style!
I love the flowers on your celebrate card!
Love your cards! So pretty!
