YAY! for Artist Marker Re-Fills!!
I'm so excited that the Re-fills have been released, as my markers were needing to be freshened! And NOW I can really use the markers for more than just coloring:) Since the Re-Fills are Alcohol based, it's like a two-fer. Alcohol inks that match the Altenew Crisp Inks! I LOVE IT!! No extra products cluttering up my shelves..I NEEDED these Re-fills:) Altenew sent Set A for me try out..and I plan on purchasing the B set and C set too, since I have #fullsetsyndrome when it comes to the coloring mediums by Altenew.
All of the Re-fills cam be purchased separately.
Here's a card I made after creating an Alcohol Inked background using the Re-Fills:
A simple stitched outline on a stamped image can create a 'Toot Sweet" Hoop Art project! I have a video of the entire process.

I liked to use the large storage pouches to carry all my stitching supplies in.
Coordinating paper from Reflections Scrapbook kit finishes the back of the hoop perfectly using the Circle die form Half Tone circles and a name tag plate cut with Dot Labels die.
After the pieces had cooled, I simpley glues them together on two heart shapes that had been shrunk as well. the Leafy Wreath was easily snapped in smallr pieces to fit onto my projects
After seeing all the Gorgeous Alcohol inked backgrounds on social media, I had been wanting to try creating some too. I created with the Re-Fills that are in RED COSMOS mini ink set: Frosty Pink,Coral Berry, Ruby Red, and Grapevine.
Here's a card I made after creating an Alcohol Inked background using the Re-Fills:
Make this card:
- Using the Coral Berry, Frosty Pink, Ruby Red, and Grapevine refills as an alcohol medium on Alcohol Ink paper
- then I stamped the Holiday Bow with black ink over the background I created
- used the Holiday Bow die to quickly cut out the bow and Creative Edges: Lace Die
- stitched Black Floss through the Lace Die
- Layered them on a card front with the Rustic Linen to create a simple card
- stamped a sentiment from Blessings stamp set in Black ink
*************************
The card above inspired a stitching project where I actually dyed white embroidery floss with the Coral Berry marker Refill, I have a really quick video showing the process.
Watch the process video below or in HD on my YouTube channel.
While the floss was drying I stamped the solid image from Holiday Bow on 100% cotton fabric, then I put it in a hoop and did a simple back stitch as an outline to the bow. I went back in with Artist Markers once the stitching was finished to add more details. Then I used the Ruby Red and Grapevine markers to color the bamboo hoop, which coordinates whole thing together :)

I thought I was finished playing with the Marker Re-fills, but my kids wanted to play with some shrink plastic, and of course I wanted to play along as well!
Layered Rose die, Inline Alpha die, and Leafy Wreath dies cut beautifully on the shrink plastic. I colored all the die cut images with Artist Markers and popped them in the toaster oven to watch the magic happen. My images are now one third there original size..and SOOO SWEET!!
