Vintage Kids

I am not a purist.  I like having fun with pictures, manipulating the elements and changing color and texture.  The first thing I did to this photo was crop and apply the "Velvet Cream" action from the Coffee Shop (see link to the left).  This photo then had a texture applied and blended.  I have found that many textures just make skin look dirty. . . . and especially with kids it makes it look like they haven't been bathed in a while.  Choose textures carefully.  The photo was then popped into a vintage border.  It looks like this guy stepped out of 1965!
