The 3 Collections by name are; Rose Petal, Coffee Break, and Sea Shore.
Now there are 6, 12 count multi color Artist Marker sets; A,B,C,D,E and a Primary color set. Altenew also has sets of four markers in single Collections released for purchase.
My hope is that you are inspired by what you see! If you are hopping from the beginning then you should be arriving from the blog of Lydia Fiedler. I have a 4 projects to share with you today :)
Here are my cards:
First up I have a card featuring a Shiplap/Farmhouse wood background created with the rich Coffee Break browns in Set D. Inspired by Dawn Woleslagle, who shared awhile back how to create the look with distress inks, I wanted to see if I could create a similar background with markers.
I LOOOVE how it turned out and share a quick video on my YouTube channel on coloring the background.

After creating the Wood background:
- I Trimmed the panel down to 3.25 x 4.25 inches
- Added splatter with Pure White Ink Spray and Jet Black Ink Spray
- Spelled out L-O-V-E using both Floral Alphabet Stamp & Die Bundle and Heart Flowers Stamp & Die Bundle each colored with all the colors from the New set.
- Layered the letters onto the woodgrain panel then onto an A2 size panel of pattern paper from Pastel Dreams 6x6 Paper Pack
Supplies:
STAMPS and DIES: Floral Alphabet Stamp & Die Bundle, Heart Flowers Stamp & Die Bundle
ARTIST MARKERS: Set D
PAPER: Pastel Dreams 6x6 Paper Pack, Neenah Solor White 80lb
MIXED MEDIA: Pure White Ink Spray, Jet Black Ink Spray
Here is the video of how to make the Faux shiplap/wood panel. You can watch below or at my You Tube Channel in HD.
Can you see that interesting mottled look on the petals of the rose bloom? That is achieved by using the Artist Markers Colorless Blender. I like the softness that it gives to the image.
After I finished coloring of the Handpicked Bouquet using Set D and Artist Markers Summer Afternoon Set:
- I used the coordinating die to quickly cut the bouquet out
- Then cut a second bouquet and colored it entirely with Lagoon B815, from Set D, for a shadow layer
- Adhered the two die cuts slightly off-set
- Layered it onto the remaining shiplap/wood panel and set aside
- Stamped the largest image from Extra Special Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Rocky Shores Crisp ink
- Added a small strip,1.75 x 5.5 inches of pattern paper from Pastel Dreams 6x6 Paper Pack
- Sentiment is stamped with Mocha Crisp ink
- Assembled the card
Supplies:
PAPER: Pastel Dreams 6x6 Paper Pack, Neenah Solor White 80lb

I created another wood panel, this time with the Sea Shore collection markers. Remember to watch my video on how to create your own faux shiplap. Talk about Zen coloring, making these panels is Quick and FUN!
- I stamped, with white pigment ink, the Dainty Swiss Dots Stamp Set over the top of the finished Sea Shore wood colored panel
- Then heat embossed several sentiments and tiny images from Story of Us Stamp Set and Crafty Friends Stamp Set with Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder
Supplies:
ARTIST MARKERS: Set D
PAPER: Neenah Solor White 80lb

Because I do LOVE coloring along with Kathy Rac and #TheDailyMarker30Day coloring challenge: My last card is a One Layer inspired by Altenew DT member, Erum Tasneem.
Keeping an image mostly white is a challenge that I like to try every once in a while.
To make this card:
- The Gorgeous flower from Beautiful Day Stamp Set is the star of this one using the soft shades from Sea Shore collection.
- Two flowers and leaves on ether side are from the Floral Shadow Stamp Set, colored with the Rose Petal and Coffee Break Artistic Markers from Set D.
- Fussy cut a mask of the colored arrangement, put it in place
- Softly inked the Watercolor Stripes Stencil with Rocky Shores from the Coffee Break Mini Cube Set.
- Splattered clean water for some interest.
- Lifted the stencil off and inked the outlines images, found in the Beautiful Day Stamp Set, repeatedly, inked with Mocha. Also from the Coffee Break Collection.
- Stamped the sentiment with Mocha as well
- Carefully took off the masks to reveal the finished panel
- Added drop shadows for a faux dimensional look using TG02, and TG03 (Artist Markers Set E)

INKS: Coffee Break Mini Cube Set
ARTIST MARKERS: Set D, Artist Markers Set E
