Lil Christmas Evie

Merry Christmas from the Lil Lolita Christmas gals.  This is Evie and I just thought she was so super cute and fits perfectly with this layout from Stamptacular Sunday's sketch.  I put gold Stickles around the edges and on the flowers from Wild Orchid.  I added Glossy Accents on her neck ribbon as well as on the ribbon on her legs OH and even on the bells, although you can't see it very well.  AND there's flock on her fur. 

I'm also entering this card into Beary Sweet Challenge #14 for "Anything Goes" and Lil Lolita "Anything Goes Christmas Style".  Woo hoo I love those ones!!

Lil Lolita Challenge #12

 A Sketch A Day...

Lil Lolita Boutique Challenge #12

Who doesn't love a sketch?!  Years ago a friend of mine, who we'll call her Laurel, introduced me to sketches and I've been hooked ever since!  It's very rare that I don't use one these days so it was great to see we had to use one for our next challenge at LLB!  Sorry for all the pink and black lately.  I just can't seem to get away from it.  Luuuuv the color combo!  Here's my card and sketch below:

Ya, I do realize my elements are backwards but Kellita is so tall and I just didn't want to change her. 

I'm also entering my card in the challenge that

Tickled Pink Stamps 

is sponsoring this week at

Haunted Design House

"Pink on the Brink".

My card isn't exactly scary but

cute & scary works don't ya think?!  LOL! 

Please check out the wonderful cards the DT made this week at LLB and join in the fun.  I challenge you to combine both of these challenges and would love to see your card!!  Let me know if you do!!  I'd gladly leave some lovin' on your blog!  :)

Lil Lolita Boutique Challenge #11

A ROSE FOR A ROSE!

I've used this image of Lilith (Tickled Pink Stamps) before but since she was holding the rose, I knew she had to be on this card.  She's one of my favorites and for some reason I can just hear her saying "What attitude" not really a question and all cool, calm and sarcastically oblivious.  Oh and I'm sure she'd appreciate the black rose on the card too.  hee hee.

If you enlarge the picture you might be able to see some Glossy Accents on it - it's suppose to look like dew drops.  I also added Glossy Accents to her headband, skull and rose.  Looks great....IRL.  LOL!!

Please don't forget to go and check

OH AND check out this week's prize!!! 

For more inspiration I used the sketch from

Lil Lolita Boutique Challenge #9

{If you are looking for the Kellita blog hop please scroll down}

BLING IT UP!!!

Wahoo!!  Ok, one of my favorites things to do is Bling It Up!!  I  ♥ adding stuff to my card and had a tough time putting down the bling and backing slowly away from my desk!!  This week I used 60s Hippie Willow from Tickled Pink Stamps the Lil Lolita Fashionette line. 

FOR MY BLING I used Glitter Ritz around the edges of 3 of my layers, I also added a bunch of Stardust Stickles to all my flowers (if you click the pic bigger you might be able to see them better), I added chandelier garland and pearl pins, which I think are bling.  Tough to get Stickles to show up in the camera.  They don't like to cooperate. 

So c'mon and check out all the details on the Lil Lolita Boutique challenge blog. 

PRIZE ALERT!!  There is A WEEKLY Lil Lolita up for grabs so find out which one by also visiting the LLB blog. 

Please take a visit over to also see what wonderful blingage the DT has come up with this week.
