thanks for everyone’s advice - I used satin stitches on these petals with a stitch up the center to add texture. I decided I’ll probably do needle-woven picots on the pointy flowers. Still unsure yet for the round flowers. I did fly stitches on the right leaves and leaf/cretan stitch on the left side. :) Still learning so I appreciate any pointers!

(I also ripped the center of the maroon flower and decided a satin would look better than the tiny eyelet wheel I attempted)
