Rose Heart With Petals Scattered Around

A big heart shape is built entirely from roses, packed closely together so the outline of the heart comes from the curve of the blooms. Each rose shows a tight spiral center with layers of petals unrolling around it, and the flowers vary in size and angle. Pointed, veined leaves peek out along the edges, especially near the top and right side. At the bottom, several loose petals and leaf-shaped pieces lie scattered on the ground around the point of the heart. The line work is fine and detailed, so it suits older kids, teens, or adults who like patient coloring. Try shading each rose from a darker center to lighter outer petals using two or three shades of one color, then give the leaves a different green so the flowers stand out. Colored pencils work well for the small spaces.
