Welcome friends! I’m excited to be joining Altenew in a blog hop featuring their latest alcohol markers sets: Firewood Garden and Woodland Garden.
I often get asked about the alcohol markers from Altenew and while I do have a couple previous sets, I just hadn’t used them in a while and I don’t know why. These markers are wonderful to color with!
I sat down with this new set, organized and labeled them with the Marker Toppers then got to coloring.
The stamp set I’m using today is the Fragrant Florals from a past Craft Your Life Kit. I stamped it in an alcohol marker friendly ink onto X-Press Cardstock using my Stamp Wheel.
I decided to just use all the marker sets on this one image to get to know the colors.
Here are a few things that I like about these markers.
- they are very comfortable in my hand
- one end is a brush tip, the other is a small nib
- refills available
- color families (helps take the guess work out!)
- marker toppers
Now I’ll be perfectly upfront that yes, Altenew did send these to me. The question is would I recommend them and the answer is yes. I actually want to pick up a few of the other sets now!
If you are looking to get started in coloring or add to your collection, I did enjoy coloring with them and thought they blended wonderfully.

Beautiful card Mindy
Mindy, I’ve taken some of your classes and still no where close to your coloring. Your card is so beautiful. Love the colors you used.
I’m so very glad I’m not the only one that organizes first, then gets to crafting. You did a fabulous job coloring this. The marker colors are lovely.
I love that these markers are similar to the Copic brands and have the added benefit of the most used tip styles! looking forward to adding to my collection!

Wow Mindy! You always create beautiful cards. I love the colors you used together. I can’t color worth a hoot so I’m thrilled that Altenew has so many layering stencils!!
Beautiful colors and coloring.
Beautiful card with great coloring, makes me come closer to getting these markers
Lovely coloring, and card!
I love your choice of colors for this card – they are a little different than I would have chosen, and yet they work beautifully, teaching me about going outside my comfort zone!
Beautiful card! Thanks for the list of what you like about the markers. It is very informative. I like that the markers are both brush and small nib. Who uses a chisel tip?
Mindy, I enjoy your cards so much.
The placement of your “background” colored flowers makes that blue beauty really pop. What a great composition!
Your card is absolutely beautiful! I wish I could color like you!!
