I am a day late in entering the challenge for the Ways to use it-butterflies...Sorry! I just love butterflies. I made a card and matching box. I LISTED THESE SEPARATELY AS WELL SO YOU CAN SEE THEM BETTER.
For the card I used the Full of Grace- Faith, Butterfly single, butterfly die and Butterfly Embossing plate available at Our Daily Bread Designs. I also used the Full Of Grace-Faith set, the embossing plate and the ecru trim. I used the Basic Grey Curio designer paper, punches, Labels 14 die (spellbinders) and black wrinkled ribbon. My butterfly is colored with copics. The little butterflies are the negative pieces left from punching the butterfly border with the Martha Stewart Butterfly border punch. The embossed butterflies are distressed with Bittersweet Distress ink as are the edges of the sentiment panel.
I chose to make a gift box to match the card. I used the Pop n Top Template from Perfect Presentations and the Basic Grey Curio designer paper. The butterfly is created with the Butterfly stamp and butterfly die from Our Daily Bread Designs. The black cardstock is embossed with ODBD's new butterfly embossing plate. You can see it better if you look at the last photo. The lace is some I received from my friend Ann (it is May Arts).

Absolutely gorgeous!! Such beautiful colours and so much detail. Your butterflies are stunning especially the one on the top of the box - love the way you did the body on this one. The DP you've used is luscious. I love the butterfly trim and the lace and the pearls.........can't say enough about this.
