Seven Hills wants us to take a die cut and die cut it again, creating a different version of the original. The usual rules apply, including using something that is sold in the Seven Hills shop.
I have a die set by Concord & 9th which is sold at Seven Hills, but I'm not sure that this kind of die-cutting is what they mean for the challenge. I decided to use it to comply with the product requirement but also to use two sets of Sizzix thinlits dies to create a frame for the Concord & 9th image.
First I apologize for the fuzziness of the photos --- I took them in a darkened room and couldn't see that they weren't in focus...now it's too late to retake them.
My first step was to die cut a "Stitched Rectangle" in black card stock and then cut a "Stitched Oval" in the resultant rectangular diecut. I layered this "frame" onto striped paper and then onto glossy black card. I die cut a sentiment with another Sizzix thinlit in the glossy black layer:

I backed the block-letter sentiment dicta with gold shimmer paper:
Next, I used the Concord & 9th die set on the glossy black and gold shimmer papers.This die set has one set of dies designed to make a card closure and a second set of dies cut the holes in the wings; a third die was for the butterfly body.. I cut the butterfly wings from the card using the closure dies and then applied the second set of hold to create the butterfly pattern; I layered gold glimmer paper (also cut with the closure dies) behind the black die-cut wings and added a gold shimmer body to create a compete butterfly:
My final step was to attached the butterfly to the "frame" and attache then entire image to an ivory notecard:
