The Lil Lolita Boutique has a brand new challenge up and this week it is all about the sketch. It's a nice and easy one too which I always love. ;)
And yes, I've used a digi so I can play with the 'big head' size... again... I swear this is the last one for a bit, LOL! Now I've had this scrap of cherry paper for years, I can't even remember who made it, but I've been holding onto it for the perfect image and card and this original Ivy fit the bill. All of the colors I used on her were pulled from the paper itself and those sweet cherries... yum! But I have a bit of a confession to make, I've never been quite clear on what the 'life is just a bowl of cherries' really means. Is it like an older more classic version of 'life is like a box of chocolates' and instead of possibly getting peanuts or toffee filling you get pits and worms? If so I think I'll stick with the chocolates, LOL! :)
Heeheehee... anywho... now it is time for all of you fellow Lil Lolita lovers to get sketchy and play along for the chance of winning a fun prize from the Tickled Pink store! You say you still haven't gotten your hands on these cuties yet? Well if you are in the states you can get your Lolitas at the All That Scraps store now. Coolio!
Have fun!
