Paint-a-Flower: Camellia Waterhouse

Paint-a-Flower: Camellia Waterhouse

Silky and Smooth Alcohol Marker Card

With Valentine’s Day around 3 weeks away, I wanted to make a card with a very heart-felt sentiment. The first thing that came to mind when I was researching the look of Camellia Waterhouse (Camellia x williamsii ‘E.G. Waterhouse’) was the polished stone appearance of the petals. I drew inspiration from the actual color palette of ‘E.G. Waterhouse’ and rose quartz polished stones. As for the supporting leaves, I highlighted the vein pattern and captured the leathery look of the foliage.

1. I stamped the main cluster images twice onto smooth 100 lb white cardstock.
2. I used a mix of Altenew Artist Markers in Sunshine Valley Garden and other sets to color the petals first. I started from darkest color to lightest to get a smooth blend between colors.
3. I also used the Sunshine Valley Garden Marker Set to color the supporting foliage, making note the leave a highlight for the veining pattern.
4. To crisp and further refine outlines, I used the Woodless Coloring Pencils to deepen areas of petal overlap. I used the Woodless Coloring Pencils to also enhance the leaves.
5. I added both Jet Black and Pure White Ink Spray splatters throughout the card.
6. I stamped the sentiment using Obsidian Pigment Ink.
7. Finally I mounted the colored card panel onto my folded note card base.

Do you all prefer a numbered/bulleted system when it comes to describing my card design? Or would you prefer I leave them in fragmented paragraphs with images in between? I have seen many talented crafters recreating or drawing inspiration from my cards and I want to make the steps more accessible. Let me know in the comments what is easier to read and/or follow on my blog, please. I appreciate your engagement and feedback!
