A simple hydrangea bush made by copying and scaling petals, blurring edges, then saving the whole cluster as a stamp.
Original Post Text
Made a simple hydrangea bush — basically: paint one petal → copy it into four and arrange them into a flower → copy the flower four times and scale each one, adjusting the gradient colors → once assembled, blur the edges a little with a blur brush → copy and duplicate into a cluster, then use the whole thing as a stamp on top of a base bush layer. (I can't really draw so it's a bit messy… as long as it looks green it works lol)
You can also use Tools > Hue/Saturation to swap it to a different color in one click.
The hibiscus is even easier — just cut one out directly from the stamp tool!

How to Use This Design
1. Paint one petal, copy into four and assemble a flower, copy four flowers and scale/adjust gradient colors, blur the edges with a soft brush, then duplicate into a cluster and save the whole thing as a stamp to place over a base bush. 2. Use Tools > Hue/Saturation to recolor in one step. 3. For hibiscus, just cut one directly from an existing stamp.
