One color and One sketch - more challenges

I just had to find time to play with this Colour Q combo challenge for this week.

 This is what I came up with! I recently won some wonderful stamps by Layers of Color and so it was so fun to pull out some of them for my card. 

 I had wanted to use this stamping and coloring technique again, color resist.  I stamped the butterfly with white ink and embossed with white embossing powder on white cardstock.  Next I took four watercolor crayons and quickly colored portions of my butterfly.  I really just scribbled the colors on and then used my watercolor brush to get the colors wet.  When I had it looking like I wanted, I set it aside to dry and then used a cloth over the butterfly exposing the white lines. 

 Notice my punched corners.  I used a Kreaxions 4-in-1 punch with the plates in it to punch the corners. 

 Next, since I so love My Favorite Things stamps, I wanted to use their sketch this week. 

 I just got this little Pure Innocence girl stamp in the mail so I wanted to give her a try and she is so fitting for summer with that cute pinwheel.  Gotta love these new Echo Park papers, the pinks are so sweet and girly. 

 Since she is holding a pinwheel, I thought a fun accent would be a larger pinwheel.  These are soooo simple.  I just cut a 1 1/2" square from the patterned paper and made a cut into each corner.  Then I folded in four of the corners.  I really like to use 2 sided papers for these. 

 I paper pieced her pants with some of the patterned paper. 
And for a couple photo...

 We recently took a road trip and since I love lighthouses, we try to stop at any that we might be near. This one is just outside of Mendocino, CA. 

Here is another photo of the lighthouse.
