Little Orphan Annie

I have two cards to show you today - using the same image.

This little girl is so cute - she just reminds me of my friend's daughter.

My first card is for Crafty Emma's Challenge - where the theme is 

'At the Movies'

My movie is -  little orphan Annie 

I wish the camera picked up the clouds better - it took me ages to get that effect. 

I followed several online tuts for using Copics, 

but I couldn't get it right.

Then I tried an old set of kids watercolour paints, 

that I found at the back of a drawer - no luck with those either.

Finally, I got out some chalks and leaving some areas white and going over others

to darken them up, worked perfectly. 

I will definitely be doing this again.

The next card is for the Less Is More Challenge.

It's one layer week, plus a frame of some sort.

I do struggle with one layer cards - and several went in the bin!

This one is a bit of a cheat really - the image already had the frame around it,
I just printed it out.

 Being useless at printing the image just where I want it, 

meant I ended up with lots of white space on the left.

As it happened, this was the perfect place to add the sentiment!!
