Ok now on to the leaves. they are basically just like the petals.
The stem is a differant treatment.
Here are some leaf shapes. You can fold a paper in half and cut out a leaf similar to cutting out a heart or snowflake.
You can use that cut out to lay it on your fabric and cut out around it to get your shape.
Turn it right side out

Sew around the edge just like we did with the petal. Then sometimes I like to sew down the center for veins. By sewing over the same line of thread you will get a darker more filled in line.

for the center of this flower I cut a smaller piece of fabric, 2 layers sewn around the edge and turned right side out

I cut a slit on the back to turn it with

For the stem I do it differantly. I cut it long and narrow. I fold over each side into the center and iron them to make them stay put

I fold over one end and iron it.

Fold one side over the other and put it under t he needle. Backstitch and then sew down the edge of the stem. I made mine about an inch wide to start with but you can make yours any size you want.

So when you put all the pieces together you have something that looks like this. The yellow center is sewn to the background. The stem and the leaf are sewn down, But the petals are free to move.

And here is the pink flower, You can make the leaves 3D also if you like. I didn't because I chose to slit the back of them for turning, If you turn them at the bottom instead of using a slit you can sew the leaves on a their base and leave them free to move.
