Have you ever coloured with alcohol markers on coloured cardstock? Check out how the colours were affected in my card today!
But first, this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from LAURIE’s wonderful Blog.
Card #1 – Rainbow Bright
And, before I show you how these colours look on coloured cardstock… I thought, I needed to show you just how they look IRL (in real life lol)! Please say hello to Set K. Otherwise known as the Beach Garden Set, and it’s the gorgeous new addition to Altenew’s Artist Marker collection.
I think they made the perfect rainbow for this bouquet from the Build-A-Garden: Rosa Gallica Stamp Set.
I had some fun with the sentiment, I decided to pop it up on a panel beside the design.
Card #2 – Coloured Cardstock
Next, and the reason why you are really here! I used the same colours, but this time I coloured them directly onto some green Forest Glades Cardstock.
Isn’t the difference incredible, imagine the possibilities, all of a sudden you have a whole separate set of colours.
But you can take it a step further if you want, there is also an Add-On Die available. I used this to cut out the coordinating sentiment.

Beautiful ideas. Really love that rainbow coloring idea.
Such clever and remarkable ideas, I love the alcohol pen strips and stamping over the top, that’s just brilliant and fresh. Something I really love and haven’t seen before. The second design is marvellous . xx
What a difference coloring on green card stock makes- I’ve never thought of doing that! Your cards are beautiful! I love the vivid colors on the first one.
What a difference that colored cardstock makes, Therese! I’ve colored on kraft cardstock, but I don’t think I’ve ever thought of using other colors!
Beautiful examples as always!
=]
I have to agree with the rest, I never think to use colored cardstock when I am coloring something, I always reach for white cardstock, I am going to have to try this on my next card.
Love the alcohol markers on colored cardstock, this is so beautiful
I love the card on the sage cardstock. Beautiful!
Beautiful cards and colors ðŸ˜
You did make the perfect rainbow, Therese! These are both just lovely!
Wow, what a difference when using different cardstock!
Love these new colors! I never think of using alcohol markers on colored cardstock, but your creations are stunning!
Wow, really loving the difference that coloured card stock made. Gorgeous cards as always.
Cheers

The colors in the set are so wonderful together, and you’ve created 2 fab cards showcasing how they look on white and dark. Wonderfully clever!
Wow, what a difference the cardstock makes. Fun beach colors and striking first card. Must try alcohol markers on colored cs.
Both are stunning! I LOVE the designs! Especially the first one!
Fabulous card! I love your rainbow bright design – and those colours are perfect for a masculine look!
I love the design of the first card with the rainbow offset to the white background. Beautiful.
Such beautiful cards!
Great projects!!
Very beautiful card projects! What a difference when using colored cardstock – will have to give it a try.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards!
Its amazing what a change in color can do! Imagine the possibilities…
I love your cards, and the entire release. We have 5-7 inches of snow heading our way tomoro… but with this set, Spring is on my mind!💜
So gorgeous!
Two stunning projects. Love how they are so different.
Lovely.
Love the colors on the green card stock. Beautiful cards!
So fun to see the colours with the totally different muted vibe on the green card stock. Thanks for showcasing the possibilities with these goodies.
I particularly found the use of the inks on the green cardstock very pretty! Thanks for giving us an alternative.
I never think to use colored cardstock for stamping and coloring. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
The gold flowers look so pretty. And I like the background that it blends into, too.
Beautiful cards!
super cards – really love the second card – just stunning
Great cards. Love the colored cardstock and the way it changed the colors.
Wonderful look Therese. Love the way the colours changed.
Such an original take on the Rosa gallica set. Thanks for showing the difference on colored cardstock.
Stunning cards. I love the gradient you created on the first card.
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas about using colored card stock. What an inspiration. The cards came out so beautiful
I really like your “happy day” card. The background colors are so pretty and I love the stamped image. I always like these 2 sided areas- so artsy.
WOW 2 amazing cards. The colouring on coloured cardstock looks awesome – so so so many possibilities! Thank you 🙂
Hi Therese. I love your card examples to show how the same markers looks on two different colors of paper. Genius!!! I always use white paper, but now this opens a whole new avenue of ideas with colored paper. I love how the second card reminds me of a sepia tone. It has the feel of an antique or Victorian look. You are so creative. Thanks for sharing your cards with us.
Thank you so much Bo, I agree, it’s amazing how different the background colours can affect the markers. Some cardstocks work better than others but it’s as easy as just trying on a scrap piece first. I hope you hve fun with this technique. Hugs Tx
Gorgeous floral image! Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations! Love the technique on your first card!
WOW. I can’t believe how pretty the Rosa is on green paper. Amazing job.
Wow!!!! These are both Soooo Gorgeous!!!
