2. Cut 6 Sangria and 3 Cranberry of the smallest petals, then cut 3 Sangria and 9 Cranberry of the next larger size. Next, cut the rest of the petals out of Cranberry, and cut leaves out of Cypress and Green Tea. Cut the leaves on the bias (turn the paper so that the grain faces diagonally rather than vertically) for a more natural look.
