The Altenew Tropical Fiesta set consists of 10 watercolor markers – I really liked them because of the nice flow and of the vibrancy of the colors. There is a swatch below and also you can see me swatch them live in the video tutorial I have at the end of this post.
For the flowers I used the colors Crimson and Fresh Lemon and for the leaves I used Lime and Sweet Leaf. Because these markers are water based I used some water to blend them out. Once I was done coloring I die cut them with the Wallpaper Art Die Set.
For the background I scribbled down some color with the marker Turquoise on a panel of Canson XL watercolor cardstock cut at 4×5.25″ and I blended it out with a paintbrush loaded with water. I then added droplets with the same Turquoise Marker and with the Desert Night marker. I also added some shimmery droplets with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay pen.
I matted the panel with an A2 sized sheet of black cardstock and glued my heat embossed sentiment with some foam tape.
I also filmed ad uploaded a video tutorial where I show how I created this congratulations card with the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers. You can watch it down below or directly on my YouTube channel!

Gorgeous card and thankyou for the video process.
The card is very pretty. I love the colors and thanks for showing the process you used. I need to try taking the water to meet the watercolor. Maybe that would improve my watercoloring. Thanks.
