Do you KRAFT? Inking Background Tutorial

Hi ya everyone - Melissa from Melissa Made here today to share a simple tutorial on creating your own paper using Kraft.  I colored this gorgeous Some Odd Girl beauty with my Copics.  I imagined her in a vivid red dress with luscious dark skin, so that's how I colored her.  I quickly realized I couldn't find any paper that matched however.  I decided to ink a background using a Spellbinders Impressabilities.  Here's how:
Thanks for watching my video and simple tutorial.  Many thanks to Sheila for allowing me to share with you all again today!  If you are interested in more fun projects or a class in coloring with Copics stop by my blog - Melissa Made - for more details!

    Thanks, Melissa, for a great tutorial. I have tons of Kraft paper and just never thought of creating my own backgrounds. I'm definitely filing this one away as a fabulous idea.

    Of course I "Kraft" it is in my name ;) I really love the tutorial! I never used Kraft and Impressabilites together to make a background, just embossing! Thanks for the inspiration~
