March 2022 Paint-a-Flower: Zinnia Magellan Rose
Simple Statement Botanical Marker Coloring Zinnia Card

I modeled my Magellan Zinnias after other colored cultivations. Instead of ‘Rose’ like the Paint-a-Flower name suggests, I found a vibrant coral-orange and mango duo to color the March 2022 Zinnia Magellan Rose.

Instead of coloring each petal with watercolor, I used alcohol based markers. This way I did not have to worry about coloring each petal and bleeding between non-dry petals. Also by using alcohol based markers I could keep a consistent color around the flower.
I added colored pencil details with the Woodless Coloring Pencil Set to deepen petal bases. This also introduced another interesting color to brighten the Zinnias.

How To Make This Botanical Marker Coloring Card
- On a panel of smooth white A2 cardstock, stamp the outline image twice. I used Masking Paper to separate the outlines prior to coloring. I used Limestone Crisp Dye Ink because it’s light enough to color over but clear enough to see while coloring. This is how I achieve no-outline coloring.
- Color the image with a mix of Altenew Artist Markers and Woodless Coloring Pencils
- Add a mix of Jet Black and Pure White Ink Sprays over the entire Zinnia bouquet.
- Finish the card with a coordinating sentiment. I stamped mine in Permanent Black Crisp Ink.
