Butterfly Twinchies


 Here are the Butterfly Twinchies I made for swapping at Club Scraps' retreat this year.  I made 3 different colors, orange, green, and purple ones.
 I started by using Club Scraps butterfly (or maybe it is a moth) image to create an SVG file for my cricut and cut out a bajillion butterflies from white cardstock paper.
 I then used the "Daisy definition" stamp from CS and stamped on 1/3 of the stamps.  Just the 1 butterfly of the 3 that will be on each of my twinchies.
 I then inked the edges of all the butterflies.
 I cut some wire, folded in half and then rolled the ends into loops, creating the antennae of the butterfly.
 I took the bottom butterfly and slipped the folded edge onto the tail end of the butterfly, twisted the antenna about 3 times. 
 Attach the 2nd and 3rd butterflies on top.
 I used liquid adhesive to adhere the three butterflies together, so let them dry.
 While they were drying, I cut the 2x2 inch mat boards and created the base.  I peeled the paper back on crayons and used my heat gun to melt the crayons onto the matboard.
 Here is what they looked like.  Let cool/dry.
 Attach butterflies to the matboard using hot glue gun.
 Bend the wings up and the antenna up giving it a more life like look.
 Last but not least, add some gems to the body of the butterfly!
