How To Make Butterfly Trails with Sequins

The butterflies on this printed paper just scream to be given trails with sequins. I've used ink pen, stitching, gems, and enamel dots; but this is a first with sequins. I had to start by outlining the butterflies as they merge into the pattern.
~ Hello Sunshine ~
I drew the trail with Helmar glue then shook the sequins over it. I dusted off the extra sequins and repositioned the remaining ones into the right shape. It's a process that I will have to refine, but the result is lovely.
Here they are reflecting the light. The shine is phenomenal!
Rows of punched butterflies and a glittered burlap shape continue the theme. This is a companion page to last weeks post Prickle Pig. I used the same lavender, spotted tape with a different stitching technique. 
I stacked and stitched the pink and yellow butterfly sequins from Spiegel Mom Scraps sequin mixes. I bent the wings up and left the gold braid long for antenna.
