Okay, I've created two cards for today, using both the Artist Markers and Artist Marker Refills. All products used are listed below, in the affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
I was sent a set of refills to play with and I had so much fun! And by the way, don't ya love their pretty packaging? 💙
My first card uses bold colors to create a cool background with the Artist Marker Refills. They work beautifully on Yupo Paper!
I just added a sentiment strip and the card was done.
I used softer colors on my second card for a wispier background.
I colored the flowers with Artist Markers and as with my first card, the background was created using the Refills. I popped up the flowers and added the sentiment strips to finish the card.
I hope I've inspired you and given you some ideas for using Altenew's Artist Markers and refills! The next stop on the hop is Enza Gudor at her blog, Creative Findings.
Thanks so much for stopping by! ♥

I love your "perfectly perfect" card, very elegant and beautiful. I really like that Altenew put the ink color on the top of the bottle so you can see what the color is without having to pick them up to see the label. Thanks for sharing and the inspiration.

2 excellent backgrounds. Normally I am drawn to b/g, but I am loving your first combo more!
I love the backgrounds that you made for these cards I never thought about using ink refills that way. I don't own any of the markers but I would love to get a set in the near future.
The colors are SO RICH and vibrant! Gorgeous!

That red, white and blue background is so pretty! Reminds me of the 4th of July. Your other card is very pretty also.
I like your wonderful backgrounds.

Love the intensity of your backgrounds!! Beautiful cards!!
These are both very pretty, but when I saw the second one I started oooo-ing like those little aliens in Toy Story. That is such a pretty look to color the flowers with the same marker colors you used to make the background. Thank you for sharing with us!
