What are some coloring tips for this page?

1. Vary Your Tools: Use fine-tip markers or gel pens for the tiniest Zentangle details, and colored pencils for soft blending and shading on petals and leaves.
2. Create Depth: Add dimension by using two or three shades of the same color family. Apply the darkest shade in the corners of a pattern or along one edge of a petal.
3. Background Choice: Consider leaving the background white to make the floral design pop, or use a very light wash of color to make the page feel complete.
4. Embrace Repetition: When you find a pattern you love, try coloring all similar patterns with the same color scheme to create rhythm and unity across the page.
5. No Mistakes: There are no errors in your creative choices. If a color goes outside the line, incorporate it into the design or adapt.
