Did you know that you can create incredible depth and dimension with ink blending using just one color palette for your petals?

Card Inspiration – Bold Floral Bouquet Card

For this Ink Blended Floral Bouquet Card, I kept the palette simple and blended all three flowers using the same deep maroon tones. By varying the shading, some areas appear darker while others stay lighter, creating depth without adding more colors to the petals.

I kept the design mostly one layer so the bouquet really stands out. To ground the flowers, I added a little grey shading beneath them with Prismacolor pencils. A few splatters of black ink spray add extra drama, and I finished the card with a sentiment stamped directly on the panel and a few gemstones for sparkle.

I hope this Ink Blended Floral Bouquet Card inspires you to experiment with a single color palette for your petals. It’s amazing how much depth you can create with simple shading.
