Have you noticed this beautiful butterfly die cut in the "Move Me" thinlit die set from Stampin' Up!? (missed it? check page 214). I love it.. it feels modern and fresh, yet still a classic, beautiful butterfly design! I used it to make a recent batch of 4×4 customer Thank You cards featuring the Whole Lot of Lovely designer paper and Calypso Coral cardstock & Peekaboo Peach ribbon.
I die cut the butterfly (Move Me thinlits, pg 214, #143732) in Basic Black cardstock and then put them on top of "solid" die cut butterfly images (also from the Move Me thinlits) that were die cut with patterned paper from the Delightful Daisy designer series paper package – all from Stampin' Up! I loved the soft colors coming through the detailed butterfly die cut.
I just used 2 glue dots behind the butterfly body to attach them together. Using a Paper Piercing tool makes that job really easy.

The Move Me framelit die set also comes in a bundle – You Move Me Bundle – see it on page 170 in the current 2017 Stampin' Up! catalog, or here online. Watch the Video Here!
Each butterfly was placed onto a beautiful detailed die cut scalloped circle that had been created with the Window Box framelits and a layering circle framelit!! In between that and the butterfly I added a solid stitched shape circle framelit die cut just to give the butterfly a little extra attention.
I finished off each card with a piece of Peekaboo Peach Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon.
Below: The Whole Lot of Lovely paper was used on the card front – cut to 4"x4". Available HERE online.
Below: The Delightful Daisy paper was used on the butterfly, behind the black die cut. Available HERE online.
As an alternate idea, you could make this card with just a colored butterfly die cut and no patterned paper behind it, like this card below:
