GinkgoWerkstatt posted:How about doing some lighter brown ribbon and adding some grain and maybe a little sunflower with one or two leaves? Like if they have been tied to the hat with the band.
Another idea would be to give the hat a little texture. Just use the same brown (or maybe a lighter shade) and add some royal icing, that shouldn't be too stiff, with the help of a brush to the surface. Just to have some little bit sticking here and there.
I did that here as well. It's quickly done, but I think it add that little something to a background to make it less boring.
I love the sunflower idea! I might go that route instead of roses thank you!
