To make these flowers I punched the butteflies out of SU glossy paper. I spritzed water on the pieces so they were wet. I took my aqua painter and loaded the brush with Lovely Lilac and YoYo Yellow ink (two painters!!!). I brushed the painter with LL to the edges of the butterflies and the YYY to the centers. On two of the butterflies I put YYY on half so the bottom part of the pansy was all yellow. I spritzed water on them again so the colors would run some more then let dry. I curled the edges up a bit. I took my Elegant Eggplant marker and made veins in the centers of each butterfly. They are held together with a gold brad.
You can't see it in this picture but if you click on it and make it larger you will see how the background is textured.
