I got the guts to try coloring up this stamp with alcohol markers yesterday after I perused images of Camellias on google. They are just gorgeous flowers, in so many pretty colors! I do not think they would grow outside in my area, but I wonder if you can grow them inside...

I decided pink would be the easiest color to try first. This die was the only one in my collection that seemed to fit the flowers well.
One item I had not used before was the small tag die with the little heart. I wanted this to be a Valentine, so I thought this little tag would be perfect.
Supplies: Power Poppy Simply Camellias stamps set, Memento black ink, Spectrum Noir markers CR1, CR2, PP3, LG1, CG4, BT2, Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles, Spellbinders Labels 18, Avery Elle Stitched Rectangles (the small tag die), My Mind's Eye Bramble Rose paper pad, Fiskars corner punch.
I drew inspiration from all three of these great challenges! I hope you will check them out!

This is just beautiful and the colored flowers look amazing. I love how that bouquet perfectly fits that diecut and the lacy pink diecut adds to the beauty of this one! Love that little tag with the heart too! What a fabulous valentine without the traditional colors!
Hi Heidi, Beautifully coloured camellia's love the pink and brown together, we have quite a variety of them in full sun, flowered so well last season all different colours and forms, they look beautiful. Have a wonderful week... Megan
Lovely floral card Heidi, you picked fabulous shades of pink.
Heidi, your coloring of the flowers and choice of backgrounds are stunning! Who wouldn't LOVE getting this card!!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Mod Squad Challenge Angie, Challenge Host
Firstly good luck with the email and technology! Such a pretty card with a great layout. Well done on the colouring and yes Camellias are so pretty as is your card x
Oh wow these flowers are really stunning indeed Heidi!! You've done such a wonderful job with the coloring and I really love how you've got them framed with your elegant die here too!! Nicely done! HUGS
Beautiful coloring, lovely dies to frame it all.
Hope you had good luck with the email, I told my hubby that is one of the biggest reasons I don't want to change our internet provider
So beautifully coloured. I love the die you have surrounding your flowers, and that cute tag to make it a Valentines card. Very creative idea.
Beautiful colouring Heidi. Hope you had luck changing the number - things like that can be so time consuming:(
Heidi, your card is beautiful and you did an excellent job coloring the Camellia's. It is always a pain when we change internet providers. Good luck with the change.
This is gorgeous! You did an excellent job with the coloring and pairing colors up throughout the card.
You did a beautiful job with these camellias! The soft palette is gorgeous! Thanks so much for joining us at Power Poppy this month!
