Here is what I made for this month DT card: 



I mimic  the colors on the Photo Inspiration. The sponsor is so generous that we as DT member can choose one of their image and I choose this two cup of coffee image. I colored with copic marker. At the top area of the coffee I gave pop corn pen to give accent. I used also ribbon in pink to mimic the Photo inspiration. And maybe it is difficult to see, I used kraft paper for my Tag (under the main Image)
