When
you added all the white highlights your picture will
look this. Save your work.

Now
we going add a few darker spots so the petals will
look more separately instead of glued together. Use
color #A14F5B to make contours around some of the
petals. Go back to your retouch tool and use these
settings. We are not going to smudge this time but
we use DARKEN RGB.

If
you have trouble seeing your petal selection lines
you lower the opacity of your petal layer to app.
50. Don't forget to raise it back to 100 when your
done with the dark contours. Make sure you draw the
contours on the petal layer !

When
you done this save your painting and take a break.
Mouse needs rest too ;)
Ok
ready to proceed ?
Go to Image - Canvas size and apply these settings.
It's big I know but we will need lots of room to move
around. We always can crop off the excess canvas later.

Add
a new raster layer name it leaves and click on your
preset tool. This is going to be tricky for psp beginners
but i'll try to explain it as easy as possible. Draw
a triangle with these settings

You
will see a new vector layer above your leaves layer
but that's ok. Now we got a triangle and we want to
make it look like a leaf. Click on "Object selector"
next to the preset tool and you will see your triangle
selected. Rightclick and select from that menu "Node
edit". Pull your triangle to either to the left
or the right a little (img 1)

then
rightclick on the rightlower corner of your triangle
and click on "node type" and select "curve
after". Then pull the line outside till you get
a curved side (img 2)

Deselect
by ctrl-Q you leaf looks like this

Make
as many leafs as you want for your picture and arrange
them on your flowerpicture. Make sure the end of the
leafs are partly covered by the flowers once you move
you layer under the flowerpetal layer. Once you made
all the leafs select them and rightclick it will ask
you to defloat on the nearest layer click yes and
you will have the leaves on your leafslayer. This
is how it should look.

Save
your work !
