Beautiful cards Jessica, I would love to have the Altenew water colour brush markers. I have the Zigs and love them but no other brands of w/c markers. There are so many available and they all seem to be amazing (as you have shown here.)
Great ideas, tfs!
WOW, Jessica, thanks for the beautiful inspiration! I can see I’m not using my watercolor markers to their full potential. Love your Crafty Quintet segments. I always learn something new.
WOW! I have used water color markers but never got results like you do. I think your tips in this Five Crafty Things video will help me with that. You have to be the “Spatter Queen” as I have never seen anyone make such perfect spatters. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks so much for this post! I just purchased some Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers and and I’m thrilled to get some new ideas on how to use them. Thanks for the inspiration. Gorgeous cards!

Awesome creation,thanks for the video! I haven’t used watercolor brushes very often to color my stamps, but should try it again.
