Lace ribbon rosette

Two pairs of ribbons weave around one another in nested wreaths. Small petal inserts, beaded seams and a double-petal crown frame the crossing paths.

How much detail?

The narrow continuous bands, repeated crossing points and small inserts ask for careful coloring throughout, with clear open pockets between the ribbons. About the labels.

Try this palette: Four gentle colors

Use blue and terracotta for the two ribbons of each wreath. Give the outer petal border a quieter cream and gold repeat so the woven paths remain visible.

A small coloring tip

Follow one ribbon with your eye through several crossings before coloring. A pointed pencil helps beside each overpass; avoid treating the white space below it as part of the upper band.

Keep each ribbon one color all the way around. Can you follow both paths without switching colors at a crossing?
