Magical Marker Techniques – AECP

Welcome back, all. The Magical Marker class is a really interesting class. It’s about taking your alcohol markers and doing more than just colouring your image. I’m lucky enough that I have some alcohol medium supplies to assist me with this class, and was able to utilize those supplies to give me some great results.

The Cards

This first card is my favorite. This was the last card I made for this class and I was inspired by a recent Altenew video on Youtube – Quick & Easy Alcohol Markers on Yupo. I used my markers to color lines across the paper but then came in with a paint brush and isopropyl alcohol and blurred the colours on half the panel.

I also love the lines from the copics on the balloons. I was going to work to remove the lines, but they remind me of those giant-solid colour balloons that you blow up but kind of whiten in areas a bit as they get bigger. You know, those lines. So I actually worked to give them more definition.

I was so happy with this card, I made one for my husband’s birthday.

For the next cards I used the smooshing technique. I took my markers and drew on my glass mat then sprayed the ink with alcohol and smooshed my panel on the ink.

I debated including this card, because something is a bit off, and I think it’s the black panel I used. I think I should have used a white panel, but I decided to include it anyway.

So that’s it for this class, all. I will catch you at the next one – Masking Unleashed.
