Fall Colors featuring OLO Marker and Altenew

Hello friends, I've had some Altenew products in my stash that have never seen the light of day, so I thought I would color up a Fall-ish card with pops of greenery. I'm featuring OLO Marker coloring as well, my favorite artist markers! Scroll down for details.

The Altenew products I'm creating with today are the Floral Serenade Press Plate, the Classical Sentiments Press Plates Set and the Ivory Black Foil.

Yes, I foiled with my press plates! I used my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System and foiled with these plates just like you would with hot foil plates. My images turned out great! I also ran my plates/foiled images through my Platinum 6 die cut machine to seal the foiling.

I used 6 different OLO Markers for my coloring as pictured above:

OR1.6 - Orangutan

YO2.5 - Yellow Ochre

YG8.5 - Moss

YG2.5 - Avocado

YO2.2 - Pudding

O2.7 - Cinnamon

After foiling my image, I started coloring all my blooms and greenery. Once that was complete, I went in with my OLO Marker in Orangutan to color my entire background.

I highly recommend at least 80-100 lb weight smooth cardstock for coloring. I also try to color in sections and keep my marker to the paper as much as possible to avoid uneven coloring. This is when quality paper helps. Also, quality markers! If you are not using quality artist markers, that may be a reason you have uneven coloring, (splotches, streak marks).

For my foiled sentiment, I did my own hand trimming around the wording. I decided to color all around my sentiment with the same marker I used for the background. I really like how it seamlessly blends in!

I also splattered on some white paint and glued on some tiny orange sequins from one of my Catherine Pooler sequin mixes, for added sparkle.

I am so smitten with this color combo, give it a try! Tap any of my affiliate links below for more product information or to shop. These are provided at no additional cost to you. Thanks so much for dropping in today, have a great week!
