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).

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.
