As a complication to the task, you can stick the petals and leaves first to the colored paper, let them dry, cut them off and only after glue to the white cardboard. This way the flowers will be more colorful. You can also paint petals before gluing in different colors and leaves in green, let them dry and after that, glue to the cardboard. The amount of flowers on the picture is also up to you and your imagination.
