So I got a wild hair up my butt and decided to make a dear friend a Christmas gift.  I am late making it but I am also lucky that she is kind and forgiving.  Any how I posted photos of what I created on hometalk.com, you can see the link right below here.  I figured I should post it over here and so I can have it posted in both locations.

 Here is where I started

I added some paint to the sponge square

Dabbed it on, doing otherwise made it streak.  Not pretty :-/

I then placed items onto of a print out to see how I liked it

I then added some hinges to make the body of the butterfly

And then began gluing

And here is the final product!

I hope you all like it!
