Sweet!

Hi Crafty Friends!
 
We're halfway through July already and more than halfway through the year.  The Double D is sharing their new challenge for the second half of the month with the theme, "You're Favorite Fruit".
Here's some inspiration....

I have several favorite fruits and one of them is blackberries. 
 Our local farm stand has the biggest and sweetest I've ever had!

 I embossed the background with a basket weave embossing folder and touched it up with some ink.  The blackberries were stamped, embossed and then colored with Copic markers.  The berries are highlighted with a white gel pen and sprayed with shimmer mist.  I added some dimension and tucked them in around the trellis like die cut.  The sentiment was cut three times for dimension and adhered between the stems.  A few opal sequins are the final embellishments.

Mmmm, I love blackberries, too, and it's a delight to see them on your card, Vicki! When they ripen up here I'll be out picking. I can't pass by a bush without stopping to enjoy!
