Heart With A Blank Ribbon Banner Coloring Page

A wide ribbon crosses the lower half of this heart, with a notched tail flicking out on each side. The banner is completely blank, and that is deliberate. Every tattoo style heart you have ever seen carries a name or a word across the middle, so this sheet hands that job to whoever is holding the pen. Write a name, a date, a team or a single word before any color goes down, because a pencil line is far easier to letter over white paper than over a filled shade. Block capitals fit the space best. The heart above and below the ribbon stays plain and open, which leaves room for a strong flat color that pushes the lettering forward. Try a dark heart with the ribbon left white, the way a real painted banner would look. Older children and adults tend to take this page seriously and spend real time on the lettering. Younger ones ignore the words entirely and fill the ribbon with stripes, which looks just as good and takes a quarter of the time.
