The is the third Hueforge Lithophane Blending Type butterfly in a series, like all of my stained-glass models, it is in TWO parts.  The original art provided in a request from someone has a wide spectrum of colors.  This includes both greens and purples.  Creating green in the final product is not hard, but purple proved to be too hard for me.  I concluded that because Part 2 looks best with red AND yellow.  The yellow is also needed to create the green when parts are joined. The resulting reds are too orange, giving a muddy brown, not purple, when Part 2 is mated to be seen through the blue of Part 1.  Thus, revealing a limitation of this approach.

The first part has just the blues (and greens) and black of the foreground. The second part blanks out the blues (but not the greens) and provides the reds and yellows for the background.  Both parts have very thin base layers, so special care is needed to remove them from the print bed. It is probably best to cool them completely before trying.

When joining the two parts be sparing with the adhesive, especially in the lighter parts. The adhesive will change the colors if it is not behind the darkest parts. I just used some around the darker parts and around the edges to keep the glue from showing. If spread thin and uniformly, it should not show too much.
