Step 3

Next, I cut out the leaves I had drawn. The idea came to me to make arrangements of leaves around each flower. I simply duplicated the leaf layer where necessary, adjusted the size, rotate, and sometimes transformed (reflected) them for more variation according to the way I wanted them around the flower. Once I liked the arrangement of one flower with a few leaves, I merged the layers so it became one whole image.
