I don't often create using purples but I'd say that was a good choice for this card.
I also wanted to use the CAS(e) this sketch. I started out with an adorable little stamp from Stamps by Judith. To go along with the sketch, I added a strip of paper colored with purple Distress Stain and a die cut word from Simon Says Stamp.
Once the image was stamped with white ink and embossed with white embossing powder, I just kept adding different colors of Distress Stain, mixed with spritzes of water on watercolor paper. The white embossed image acts as a resist to the inks. The butterfly is a stamp from Clearly Besotted. This also fits the Simon Says Flickr Challenge.
