Alcohol Marker Coloring Class April 13th
There was such an overwhelming response to this class in March that we decided to repeat it. Thank you so much. I’m delighted so many of you are interested in learning about coloring with alcohol markers.
They are truly a game changer for stampers, especially stampers who love flowers.
I will be coloring three floral images with you as I explain basic ways to blend, highlight and add shadows. We’ll be making two cards. The first card has a monochromatic purple and monochromatic orange flower on it. The second card can be any color you choose. (We made a green card in March for St. Patrick’s Day. It’s so pretty it could be for any occasion. However, you may choose 3-4 alcohol markers from any color family for the second card.)
If you have not received a confirmation that you are registered for this class please contact me at grammy2bo@gmail.com.
The Sunday before class (April 10) you will receive an email reminding you of the class. It will include the Zoom link.

Papers that are alcohol-friendly
*I use Neenah Classic Solar White cardstock. For most projects I use the 80#. I also use 110# when I need more stability.
X-Press-It is a brand of paper that was recommended by Copic when I was taking their certification classes.
I will be repeating this class on April 13th. Watch for Altenew to make the announcement.
I plan on continuing classes with alcohol markers on May 11th.
