Place one of the duplicate combined trunk and limb shapes in front of the last bitmap copy of the trunk and limb and Arrange > Combine Shapes... Intersect Shapes.

Make a slightly smaller duplicate of the solid leaves shape. Send both behind the tree and give the shapes two different shades of dark green. Apply a small amount of feathering to the trunk and the leaves using the Change Size of Feather Region slider on the top right area of the Infobar. You basically want to have some dark leaves background over which to paint the Leaves brush.
