Flower

1. Flower Petal

Create two stroke paths: one yellow and one blue. Remember we made this leaf Last week.

2. Blend Options

Go to Object > Blend > Blend Options and set it to Specified Steps = 10. Specified Steps basically tells how many step to blend from 1 object to another.

Blend

Now select the 2 petal paths, go to Object > Blend > Make or press Ctrl + Alt + B and you should get something looks like the image shown below.

3. Duplicate More Petals

Duplicate more petals to form the flower by Copy & Paste or Alt + Drag. Male it look like this.

4. Stem

Create a stem by using the same Blend technique as in the previous step. Here I set the Specified Steps = 8. (yes with the pen tool.)

5. Leaf

The leaf is formed by 2 parts, top and bottom. I use Specified Steps = 5 here.

6. Put Them Together

Now put them together to create a beautiful flower.

7. Right Long Leaf

Create a long leaf with Blend steps = 3.

8. Left Long Leaf

Repeat the previous step to create the left long leaf.

Final Result

Your final image should looks like the image shown below:
