Below is the smudge settings I used.

Air brush settings.

I use the Hairy brushes  If you don't have them you can get the brushes HERE

You can get the alpha channel canvas HERE

For those using the alpha channel canvas:   For each step load alpha channel selections, then flood fill with certain colors. To keep from typing the same thing for each layer I will just type the layer we will be working on.  After you have flood fill the layer click on the lock in the layer pallet. I like to do my shading on the one layer for leaves and easy things.

Stems: Flood fill with the first green on chart. Apply cutout using these settings. vertical and horizontal 0, opacity 100, blur 2, color #292d21.

Buds:  Flood fill with 2nd color on chart. Airbrush 1st, 3rd and 4th color as in screen shot. Smudge going down  to blend

First Leaf layer: Flood fill with second color on chart. We will use the same colors above for the leaves. Use the 5th color for the dark areas on the large leaf. Smudge to blend Use the 3rd and 4th colors on the smaller leaves.

 

Leaves: for the rest of the leaves use the same colors as above. Smudge in a down ward motion. Below is how I did the shading.

     

Flowers: Flood fill with first pink color on chart. If you used the alpha channel keep it selected. If you did your own vectors select it then modify  contract by 2. Air brush with 4th color then with 2nd color towards center. Deselect and airbrush with 3rd color down center and to the center of flower. Smudge to blend. Use the 5th color to make the lines and dots as in screen shot. Do the same for the rest of the flower petals. This is what I came up with.

    

 Flower Centers:  I used black for the screen shot so it would be easier for you to see. I know when I was drawing it in the yellow it was hard for me to see. LOL Use the pen tool point to point size 3, connect segments unchecked. Color ##f3cb14 set to foreground and back ground set to nil. Draw lines as I did starting at the center of flower. Click apply. Invert color and use the preset shape ellipse and make some small ovals  at the ends of the out side lines. At the top make some small circles.  Convert to raster layer. Click on the lock in the layer pallet. Apply cutout using these settings. vertical and horizontal 0, opacity 100, blur 2, color #de5908.  Spray the ends of the outs side ones with color #de5908. For the tallest one use color #fcf1be This is how mine looks when finished. Duplicate it 2 times and move to other flowers.

    

 Flower Buds:  Flood fill with #749e30. Use a combination of the light green and pink colors. Smudge to blend.

 

All that is left is to do some drop shadows and touch ups.

 That's all there is to it.

 Hope everyone had fun with this. If you need any help just ask.
