Questions

Which flower stencil is easiest?

The lily and the daisy cluster have the fewest overlapping lines. The peony and the bouquet have the most detail.

Can I combine flowers into one piece?

Yes. Print the flowers at the same scale, cut them out and arrange them before transferring.

Do the meanings matter?

Only if you want them to. They are traditional associations, not rules.
