My card~
I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers in similar colors to make the curved brush strokes on Water color paper, then spritzed with water and paint brushed to lighten each semi-circle up a bit for my background.  My PTI Butterfly Cover Plate was die cut from Stamper's Select White CS and glued on top. The painted panel was adhered to a Kraft cardstock base.
