I understand what you mean. Using thin bias strips to outline or highlight an area, or they could be used to resemble ribbons running through the center. Someone mentioned using a darker color in addition to the ones shown. the fairy frost could be like ribbons and if you didn't want a lot of dark it could be a narrow boarder than a different color maybe a fairy frosts in a slightly darker shade of the ones used as ribbons.
