2. Next, we make two u shapes then point. This image below will be repeated twice for each leaf. Make sure the dark edge is always facing out from the design. You want the green in the middle.

3. Add the other side to the leaf, making sure to flip your brush, and line up the colors so that the greens are lined up. Don’t worry about getting it perfect. Repeat on the other side.
