Mosaic Butterfly

I love challenges, they’re great for inspiration!  This week’s challenge on the Paper Wishes forum is to make a mosaic.  Since I recently purchased the 15 Butterflies and Dragonflies template. I decided upon a mosaic butterfly. I saw a mosaic heart made from smaller hearts on Pinterest a while back, so I decided to use tiny butterfly punch outs for mine.

The flower is two of the Spellbinders Sunflower 2 die cuts stacked (one is from the card I made last Monday).  I rotated them slightly and then pulled the petals from the bottom layer up between the petals on the top layer.  You can’t see it very well, but I made the background paper with Smooch Inks using the marbling technique.
