Striped Petal and Cross Grid Coloring Page, Dense Black Fill
Striped petal and cross grid coloring page: roughly ninety percent of the page is already black, which means your color choices will really pop against that heavy ink.
Four-point crosses anchor each repeat, surrounded by elongated oval petals filled with tight parallel stripes and chevron banding. The negative space is minimal, and the ink coverage is deliberately heavy, giving the whole sheet a bold, almost woodblock-printed quality.
Look closely and you will find a small diamond at each cross center, plus layered stripe directions that shift between petals and background triangles. This page belongs to the Geometric Designs collection and sits at the high end of the complexity scale, making it better suited to short, focused sessions than a single marathon sit.
Bold and intricate, this striped petal and cross grid coloring page tiles edge to edge with stripe-filled petals and four-point crosses. Free instant download.

Usage Notes
Alcohol markers are the standout choice here because the large black-filled zones already do the heavy work, leaving you to saturate only the narrow white channels quickly and evenly. Gel pens work beautifully for the stripe-filled petals, where a single steady line per stripe adds a metallic or neon accent without overworking a tight space. Use colored pencils cautiously on the narrow chevron bands, as a blunt tip can fill unevenly and obscure the stripe detail.
Printing Tips
Because the image carries an unusually high black ink load, switching your printer to draft mode will not serve you well here. Use standard or high-quality mode on at least 32 lb cardstock so the heavy coverage does not cause the sheet to buckle or bleed through.
