Now do the same to each "leaf shape" I did at least 2 different angles of motion blurs to each shape. One slightly lighter than the other. When you're done, I suggest that you Merge the whole thing except the black background.

- Step 7

Once you're done merging, hold the CTRL key and click on the merged layer. Make a new layer again and choose the Color Gradient tool. You can use one of the standard colors there or make your own set of colors. Run the gradient in any direction you like.

Duplicate your Color layer and change the blend modes of both layers to Vivid light or Overlay . Whichever looks better.

You're done with one wing. Now for the other one.

- Step 8

Simply duplicate the whole layer (along with the color layers) and choose Edit > Transform > Distort . Adjust it until you're satisfied with how the second wing looks like.

Now here is how my butterfly wings look like! Don't worry about the blurs at the right side. It will disappear once the body is put in or some redered flares are in.

If you see some jagged edges on the wings, try using Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur to smoothen the edges out.
