FLOWER MOTIFS

TIP

Color can make or break motifs, especially flowers.

You need to try a combination of light and bold

colors to see if they add to or take away from a

flower’s beauty. One easy tip is to use your boldest

color on the round that you really want to pop out

at you, and use more muted colors on simpler

rounds. Look through the flowers and see how the

color changes the motif enough to almost look like

a different one altogether.
