Inspire- CMC Copic Challenge- Backgrounds

How was everyone's weekend? I had a great one. Saturday I went to Austin with a great friend Melissa to the brand new Archivers store. Oh my goodness, I had never been to one and I thought I was in crafting heaven. Melissa is also a fabulous photographer who took my new profile picture and some really pretty glamour shots of me please stop by and and check out her work at HelloMisha.
I have so much to share with you about happenings at the CMC Copic Challenge Group so let me get started. The new challenge is up and this time we want to see you create Backgrounds on your image.  Our sponsor this time is Squigglefly and I was given this adorable digi called Inspiration.  For my background I sponged my clouds with ink.  I can never get the clouds to photgraph very well, they stand out more in person.  I wanted my image to look like it was a picture hanging on the wall so I added the paper photo corners.  The paint easel and brush was something I drew with my Copic Multi Liner and finished coloring it with Copics.  I finished it up by distressing the papers.
