Viv would like us to use the prompt "Flight" for this watercolour challenge. I've been trying to use some of my stash to make cards lately. I have a LOT of backgrounds, along with bits and pieces to use up. The background for this card is one of them. I made this when I did a video on Rubber Band Embossing - see my video HERE. The background is white heat embossing on the rubber band design. I used magicals to watercolour in top. Love these colours!
Added a simple silhouette die-cut butterfly (Moonlight Butterfly - Memory Box - retired) and white heat embossed sentiment to finish the card (Sunny Sentiments - Amy R Stamps - out of business).

I love these colors, too! Your background is amazing, Loll! It's perfect for your silhouette butterfly, too! You have definitely inspired me to check into my stash and play along...Thanks for the link to your video! xx
What a beautiful rubber band background! Love those colours together! The black butterfly and sentiment strip are a striking contrast to it!
Love your rubber band heat embossed technique for your background and then watercolored with Magicals. Stunning background for your stamped silhouette butterfly, Lolly. I also went to your video...I had forgotten how many ways you used the rubber band technique. Oh my, but you have me inspired my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
What a perfect background for this gorgeous butterfly Loll.
I have the technique on the list to do - you've given me a shove to get going! xx
Great effect with the background technique and a fabulous card Lol. loving those magicals too x.
WOW! Your background is stunning, Loll! I love all his white lines and colors in my favorite shades. The black elements contrast fantastically with the background.

This is one of my favorite color combos, as well. That background provides movement so effectively. It's like your butterfly is swooping over someone's backyard pond and grass. LOVE how you mounted the panel and sentiment together on your card base.
Ooooh ..... I love that background, what a fab technique that I must get around to trying. The black die cut butterfly is a stunning contrast xx
Love, LOVE your background! Wow! Your black butterfly makes a big impact against it. This is so beautiful, Loll!
An awesome background, Lolly! Love those colors and how the black butterfly (one of my favorties) looks on it! Fabulous flight card, my friend!
Your rubber band background is so beautiful, Loll! I love the colors and rubber band marks. The black butterfly silhouette and the sentiment strip make a great contrast against the background. Such a striking and cool card!

I love this background and that you made it with rubber bands. I have to go watch the video now and check out the challenge.
That rubber band technique for the white embossed background and coloured so prettily with the Magicals is a wonderful foil to that really dramatic black butterfly Loll and I love the very apt white on black embossed sentiment strip. x
gorgeous effect with the rubber band Loll, such an artsy background. Your butterfly really pops in black. Love the card ♥
Your rubberband background is perfect for your silhouette butterfly Loll - love the texture and colors on it!
The background and the bold silhouettes look amazing together.
I'm loving that background Loll... The butterfly looks so dramatic against it. Fabulous card!
The simplicity of the die cut butterfly and clean sentiment strip really allows the rubber band background to shine, Loll ... this is just gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)
Love the rubber band background and the colours you used Loll with the silhouette butterfly.
