Foliage for the Golden Flower

My paint by number is coming along! The golden flower I shared last week now has so much greenery around it and that corner is complete. I'm starting to see the outline of the butterfly wing too. This is a more tedious craft than I was expecting, but I'm excited to see how it turns out and to hang it on my wall. Have you ever completed a paint by number kit? Do you have any tips for me besides listening to an audiobook while painting?
