My Painted Butterfly

I tried something different the other day. Painting. No,,,not like painting painting,,,I mean really painting....like all Van Gogh-like.   I have never really painted anything. 

 My intention was to do the transfer thing from the Graphics Fairy. Which I did. 

But it barely transferred. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. All I managed to get was the outline

of the butterfly and the faint writing of the letters. 

 So I started to outline the whole shebang in black liner. And then I thought, hmmm, how hard can
it be to paint in the colors??? I have some artist brushes. If it doesn't work out, I'll just sand the whole                   thing off and start over.  It's only paint!!!  So that's what I did.

 I had already painted the table in my chalk paint using DE "Lambs Wool".  I just love that name.
                                                It's a very faint creamy pale yellow.

I was a paint mixin' fool! I didn't have the exact shade of green as the pic, so I mixed a few.

 Viola! 

Don't be trying to spot the differences from either side. I know butterflies are mirror images
on their wings. Mine isn't! Hah! 

 Thank You Graphics Fairy for the lovely print.
