Hello friends!
Warning: heavy photo post
Today is a special blog hop! The Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers now have REFILLS!
I love love these brush markers and am so glad that Altenew offers options to fill up the markers!
I am super excited to share 2 projects with you.
If you arrive from the blog of fabulous Lydia Fielder, you are in the right place!
Let's get right to the projects!
I chose to use the refills only to create colorful paper. This is my favorite (and easiest) way to let the colors speak volumes. By adding droplets to the watercolor card stock, I got an instant color mix.
I did just that before I went to bed. When I woke up in the morning, I have all sorts of colorful paper for my use. This can't get any easier.
Based on the color mix, I selected the stamps and methods. As you can see in my first card, I chose to emboss in white with Pen Sketched Stamps and Die Bundle.

I created several pieces and arranged the pieces and in the end, I thought it looks neat to form an invisible oval in the center. The stamped sentiment perfectly nestled inside the images.
This is one VERY good reason to get the refills because the droplets from the bottles are awesome for creating color paper! I used just a few colors for my projects: Purple Wine, Desert Night, Crimson, Lime and Limeade.
I love the color mix so much and decided to cut out the colorful paper and added my designs.
If you think that you are seeing circles in the paper....
.... you are absolutely right!
I added interest and textures with clear-embossing. This time, I used Bubble Wrap Stencil
for this purpose. Not only it creates subtle dimensions, the clear-embossing also make the colors POP more.
I added a very simple vellum flowers from Simply The Best to the design and white-embossed the sentiment ( from the Simply The Best Stamp Set).

I absolutely love the card with the vellum flower. The background is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!
Two fabulous cards with super duper colouring!
stunning pieces.
Love your placement.
Gorgeous cards.
You're one busy lady getting these ready before wedding week, I bet! Gorgeous cards. The vellum card is one of your best ever!!! The stenciling is genius.
Beautiful cards! Great news about the refills.... I love that! Lots of ideas to use them from the bottles and from the markers!
Two distinctly different cards with the same product and they're both lovely. The embossing on them add both texture and interest. Gorgeous.
Great cards! Thanks for using the bubble wrap stencil -- it reminded me that I used to use the real thing (bubble wrap) to get texture on cards. Forgot all about that old technique. I will have to try it again, maybe with thiese re-inkers.
Pretty cards. I love all of the pretty colors.
Absolutely beautiful cards!! What a great idea to prep the watercolor paper before bed so it was ready to rock the next day! The first card looks easy enough for me to try, and the second one with the vellum and the clear embossing is awesomw. Very inspiring!
Your talent and imagination amazes me! Best wishes to you and yours on this special day soon to come!
Amazing job on these cards.
Beautiful cards. My favorite is the one you used the bubble wrap stencil on. So pretty.
Beautiful colors. Love the vellum bloom over the watercolor background.
Both cards are so gorgeous and I want to try these techniques ASAP! Thanks for the inspiration! I can't pick one of these as a favorite because I do love them both. I do like your "photo-heavy" posts! Just sayin"!
These are both beautiful cards.
Wonderful cards and terrific techniques! Can't wait to get some refills so I can play, too!
What STUNNING creations!!
love how the vellum shows the color underneath!
Off to play with bubble wrap. Thanks
Your cards are very pretty. Very nice job!
Lovely watercoloring!
I love the white embossing with the watercolors!
you inspired me to get out some vellum and emboss & die cut a flower, a nicely placed detail to your card
Awesome technique and
it made for lovely papers.

AMAZING Virginia. Your flowers look incredible and just love the background panel you made for you second card. All the very best for the upcoming Wedding.
I just love how vibrant and beautiful the colors are. I cannot wait to start adding these refills to my stash. I adore your background with the velum flower, as always you give me such beautiful inspiration!
Your cards never disappoint! I especially love the embossed and die cut flowers on the first card. Complex, multilayered background of the second card is perfectly accented by the simple (and gorgeous) vellum flower.
Love the colors and the techniques of your second card - gorgeous!
Beautiful cards. Love the vibrant background on the second card.
Love the bright, happy colors you used in your cards. The watercolor paper you made to use for your die cuts was perfect for the flowers in the first card.
The vellum flower is quite a striking against the watercolor wash.
These are both beautiful but I have to say the colored panel with the vellum flower is amazing!!
I can't believe the vivid color you get with this ink - just radiant!! I especially like the one with the vellum flower and colorful bg!!!
Both cards are beautiful, Virginia! I love the bright colors achieved using the refills. And, I love that you made the paper before going to bed - I should try that rather than staying up half the night to finish a card.
I love the color combinations you used! I especially like the way the limeade pops the whole look, even though there is just a little on the card.
I love the bubble wrap effect. Beautiful cards
Those flowers look great. They are so vibrant. Your cards are lovely.
Gorgeous cards. The background on the second one is stunning. Can't wait to try these new watercolor marker refills.
Ahh, Virginia, You never fail to amaze me with your beautiful creations! I love these stunning cards!
Love the colour paper you created with the vellum flower. Stunning! Vibrant colours.
I love that you used a vellum flower on the hello card. It added dimension, and still let the colored background be the focus. Well done on both cards.
good tip on paper prep! thank you!
Stunning inspiration with these new refills for all of the sets!
Good tips. Loved the use of the vellum. Beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Virginia :) Love the colors you worked with and the touch of vellum was very special!!! Thanks for inspiring me :)
So pretty! Love how vibrant these colors are!
Beautiful cards and those colors are so vibrant and stunning too!
Gorgeous cards! I love the vellum flower on your watercolored background!
I love how colorful your cards are. I love very colorful cards. I am so glad that Altenew came along with refills for their watercolor brushes! I was worrying I would run out! It's great they can be used as watercolors as well!
Beautiful cards! Love the single red flower with the blue ones and the vellum flower on your super colorful background.
Love the looks you achieved with these ink refills. Joy filled coloured background with the vellum flower looks fab & I love the flowers & leaves with the colours on the first card.
Your cards are beautiful, Virginia! I really love the background you created on the second card! Thanks for sharing your awesome creativity with us!
Your cards are stunning but second one is my favorite. I love how colorful it is. Awesome inspiration.
Ooh super colorful and awesome!! Love these beautiful cards! <3
Pretty designs and colors.
