Hello there, everyone! I am super excited to bring to you a double-decker release! Today, Altenew is releasing the Paint-A-Flower: Clematis Outline Stamp Set plus not one but TWO sets of Artist Alcohol Markers!
Like our popular Build-A-Flower Layering Stamp & Die Sets, these beauties are released every month, so make sure to look out for them in our store. For the month of February, our featured set is the Paint-A-Flower: Clematis Outline Stamp Set!
Be your own kind of beautiful with this beautiful floral outline stamp set. The clematis flower is a stunning flowering plant that has an aura of its own. The stamp set has been designed keeping that in mind, so the flower in the stamp set is shown climbing a garden trellis.

That's not all!
This is the release you all have been waiting for – Altenew is releasing NEW alcohol markers today! We are so excited to reveal two new marker sets: Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set F and Water Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set G, along with coordinating alcohol inks.
Our Artist Markers are alcohol-based, allowing you to beautifully blend colors to any stamped images. Our wide range of stamps is perfect for these markers. You can also easily pair them with our Crisp Dye Inks to take your coloring to the next level! The colors in this set are designed to be as close as possible to our existing ink colors, so you can take the color guessing game out of the way when coloring.
Today's Project
I used all the markers from both sets to color my card. So, let's begin!
Coloring:
Stamp the Paint-A-Flower: Clematis Outline Stamp onto a panel of Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock in Permanent Black Crisp Ink. Next, use the colors from the Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Markers Set to color the pink and yellow flowers along with the green leaves. To color, make sure to start with the darkest moving on to the lighter shades in the color family.
The colors in the Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Markers Set (Set F) are as follows:
Pink: Razzleberry, Rubellite, Pinkalicious, and Pink Diamond
Yellow: Honey Drizzle, Maple Yellow, Fresh Lemon, and Citrus Burst
Green: Mountain Pine, Shadow Creek, Fresh Leaf, and Firefly
For the purple, teal, and browns, I used the Water Garden Artist Alcohol Marker Set (Set G). The colors in this set are as follows:
Purple: Andromeda, Ultramarine, Hydrangea, and Wisteria
Teal: Galactic Stream, Teal Cave, Aqualicious, and Dew Drops
Brown: Milk Chocolate, Almond Butter, Hazelnut, and Vanilla Cream
Adding Details:
In the video, I share tips and tricks on how to color “wood” and achieve a faux woodgrain look, so do not miss it! This has everything to do with switching between your nibs and the marker shades! To create the light vertical lines on the wood, go over the area continuously with the lightest color marker, in this case, Vanilla Cream Artist Alcohol Marker. And then around it, I added woodgrain with darker shades. But I also kept going over those darker shades with a lighter marker (bullet nib) to get a more natural-looking pattern.
Once my coloring is done, I will move on to the watercolor. For this, I will use greens from the Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set and paint my background. To enhance the shadows in the background and show depth in my “faux foliage”, I will also add a bit of Rock Collection pigment which is essentially a dark gray pigment.
After this, I will use Fine Liner Pen Set to add a few pen details. This includes adding to the woodgrain pattern and enhancing the outlines. This helps make your image stand out. And to make the flowers pop a bit more, I will also add additional details with a white gel pen. These are just dots of various sizes on the flower centers, but they make such a huge difference.
You can watch the process video below or on YouTube.

Stunning Erum, the products and your use of them always inspires me.
I have never grown Clematis…yet…but learned all about them from an expert speaker at my garden club. These are so cute, I would at least like to make cards with Clematis :) I am looking forward to the blog hop. Thank you so much for your generosity, and taking the time and effort to have blog hops. It keeps us more positive during these difficult times.
Great stamp. Love all the detail. Thanks for the video I learned some new tricks. I struggle lots with coloring with the markers and shading so you have given me fresh ideas.
Love the clematis!
Gorgeous. Such inspiring work from Erum showcasing the lovely clematis!
Beautiful! I love this new set! My wish list is growing!
How fun! Love the new flower set! And great new colors, i just purchased a marker set to try out!
Just when I start to think I don’t need anything else NEW COLORS!! I love to watch Erum demonstrate her coloring techniques. I tend to forget it’s not forbidden to mix color media — I would have struggled to get something behind the flowers and Erum just brought out her watercolor pan! Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous PAF set, beautiful marker colors and amazing inspiration! Love all the details added to this wonderful card Erum. thanks for sharing!
I love floral stamps
Loving the new stamp set. I have several Clematis’ around my house and I’m always so happy in the spring when they have survived the winter. Also happy to two new sets of markers. I recently purchased all the markers with your last sale. I’ve wanted to try a alcohol markers but just cannot afford Copic markers. I was a little disappointed with the color blends so I’m hoping that these two new sets will round out some of those in between colors that were missing, glad to see the pinks, yellow and blues. It would be great to win a gift certificate to buy the new markers. Who am I kidding I would be great to buy it all?!?
Such a beautiful stamp! I love the inclusion of the lattice since this is a climbing flower. Erum’s inspiration is gorgeous!
Another amazing work by Erum…you are such a great artist!
Lovely stamp set! I really like the pretty flowers and the trellis behind them… fantastic coloring all around! Such pretty colors.
Love this new stamp, can’t wait to get it!
Such a beautiful card! Love your colors… great release.
Thanks for sharing
One of my favorite sayings for cards is “May all your weeds be wildflowers.” This stamp set, with the flowers growing around the trellis, has that feel to me. Wild can be beautiful too.
Beautiful new colors! I’m excited to see the bright yellows – perfect for spring
absolutely beautiful!! Can’t wait to visit the rest of the designers!
This is a lovely set and reminds me of the gorgeous mauve pink clematis that graced a trellis (like this one) and lived by my front steps for many years! I need to plant another one and perhaps order this set too!
so excited to see the colors of alcohol markers. Love the markers that I already have. hope to add some of these to my collection
Wow!!! Stunning card Erum!!! Love this stamp!!!
I’m loving the marker sets. Soooo pretty. Thanks for taking the guesswork out of finding the color family.
The new release is so exciting! And I love the gorgeous inspiration! Thanks for sharing!

This is a gorgeous set….love that it has somewhat smaller flowers!
I absolutely love clematis and this stamp is one I most definitely will be buying!
I have several Altenew floral stamps and enjoy coloring them with watercolor, alcohol markers, brush tip markers, and colored pencils. Really they are perfect for any medium.
I love this gorgeous stamp & your cards are gorgeous! Thanks for the great tips also!
I’m just starting to do art journaling and am happy to see such colorful markers that I can order.

I had a beautiful clematis in my front yard – unfortunately I couldn’t take it with me when we moved. Beautiful cards with this beautiful new PAF stamp set!!
Our beautiful clematis grow on a very similar lattice frame, so of course, I love this release! Just beautiful. Thank you for the giveaway.
Beautiful! My fav set would be water garden! Then I’d get the others! 😁 thx for your tips & great video!
Beautiful cards and wonderful new color sets. I occasionally use alcohol markers, with these examples will try more often as they are amazing.
This is a beautiful stamp and the new colors are stunning. Reminds me of what my clematis looks like each summer…just a beautiful deep purple. Now, I can color them and see them all year long!!! Thanks
Great stamp, love the flowers and the wood detail. Can’t wait to watch the video tonight.
