It's time again for another Lil Lolita Boutique challenge and this week we want to see cards with no designer papers. I know... I know.. no DP? If you're saying that is a hard one... believe me, you're preachin' to the choir, LOL!
I had every intention of just doing a nice embossed background but that little voice inside my head kept needling me... trying to get me to sneak some pattern paper on my card somewhere. So how could I appease that little voice and still stay true to the challenge???
A-HA! Rub-ons! Yep, I broke out a sheet of birthday rub-ons and created my own pattern on some white cardstock and that quieted the voice enough to let me get on with the rest of my card. ;)
I was also a bit tricky with the image on this one by taking Lil Lolita Evie and altering her by wiping away the cat ears and whiskers before stamping then re-drawing in some of the missing lines in her hair with a Copic multiliner pen. Once that was done I stamped up Lil Lolita Lylah and chopped off both of their heads so I could swap them out... OUCH! Don't worry, no images where harmed in the making of this card, LOL! :)
Now Evie has lost her cat costume and is ready for her big day, I bet that is a big box of Copics and stamps she's got there... what else could make her look so happy? ;)
So if you've gotten your Lil Lolita stamps why not join in the fun this week? The no DP thing really isn't that bad... I promise, and we would love to see what you come up with!
Have a beautiful day everyone. :)

Such clever altering! I love how you "uncatified" her--is that such a word? Someone got the new CB polka dot folder, too! Love the glittered dots, and your rub ons background is awesome!
I, too, thought you were giving us a Sneak Peek! So not fair when I haven't even had a chance to stamp with the one's I have!! Your alteration is fabulous, as always, and I LOVE how you snuck around the no DP! Your homemade DP is fantastic! :-)Traci

OFF WITH HER HEAD!!! Hahaha - I love it. Poor Lylah just needed a face lift. Sorry. Sorry. I just couldnt help myself. I too did the double take when I saw her. But she is just gorgeous. Now... for a name... Evlah? Lyvie? Hmmm... very clever to use rub ons too!

I love it, I never would have thought of switching heads that is so cool. Also not stamping the ears, thanks so much for making me think outside of the box.
