Feel free to use your own colors for this. Also feel free to make your own vectors. Make them any way you want. This is just how I make them and you can do them your way. As always with my tutorials what you do with the finished graphic is yours. Do what ever you want to do with it.
For this tutorial you will need Eye Candy 4000 and Jasc PSP
I have all three sets of the xero filters. But then I am a filter hog. lol
Some of the gradients I use to make flowers is from
&
You can get font, shadow lab preset and bevel boss preset here.
Bevel Boss preset goes in the Eye Candy 4000 bevel boss folder.
Shadow lab preset goes in the Eye Candy 4000 shadow lab folder.
You don't have to put the font in your windows font folder. I have a font folder inside my My Documents folder. I keep all extra fonts for tags and things in there. That way I don't have too many fonts in the main one. Just click open the font and minimize. When you open PSP it will be in the font list.
This is a very fast and easy tutorial. No drawing LOL Unless you what to draw your own flowers.
Open 500X500 transparent image.
We are going to use the flower
preset shape. 
Foreground color set to nil. Background set for gradient with
these settings.
Antialias and create as vector checked.
Drag out your flower shape to the size you want. Convert to raster layer. Use paint brush to put a dot of yellow in the center of flower. Apply the bevel boss preset.
Click on the invert gradient box to invert the colors. You will have 2 flowers using the same gradient. Now make as many flowers and colors as you want.
Open the font from the folder and then minimize.
Click on draw tool 
set background color to nil, foreground to black size 2 choose
bezier curve, antialias and vector checked. Draw out a line and
pull up from center on each side similar to this. 
or
you can pull one side up and the other down. Your choice. Do not
covert to raster layer. Now click on the text tool 
.
Hold curser on the line you just drew. Move it till you get the
A with a curve under it. It looks like a smiling A Choose the MC
Blossoms font, size 48, stroke and fill, vector and antialias all
checked. Click ok. In the layer palette turn off the bezier.
Now you convert to raster layer. Apply bevel boss settings. Add drop shadow Vertical and horizontal 1, opacity 100, blur 3.9. Do the same for the rest of the words you want on here.
Arrange your flowers and words to your liking. Merge visible your flower layers. Apply the xero/porcelain filter to the flowers. Merge all layers now and apply the shadow lab preset. This is also optional apply the xero/mistifier filter.
Just some samples of what you can do with your flowers.
Hope you had fun with this.
As always if you need any help or
have any questions just ask.
