Blackberries

Full day today, we're back at work and the fall is one of the busiest times of the year for us, today we had all day staff planning meetings.  So, my sweet mom had the kids today, and then had us for supper tonight, she went all out with roast chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cabbage rolls, corn....it was absolutely delicious.  She's such a good cook, and it was so nice of her.

So, I'm pooped tonight from all the brain work today.   But, on vacation I did take a number of images to color, and my copics, so this one was one of the many I colored.  I love these amazing raspberries from the Berry Sweet set by Flourishes, but depending on the way you color them, they could be blackberries don't you think?  We love blackberries too, we saw some in the Farmer's Market in the mountains on vacation that were HUGE.  Today's SCS Sketch was perfect for an image like this.

This is the new Concord Crush color from SU, and Old Olive, I sponged the edges of the Nestie shape with Concord Crush too, and then used two rows of the Victorian Borderabilities die for the bottom rows, feeding the silk ribbon through, and then accenting as per the sketch with this pretty crochet prima flower.

The purple is even more rich and has even more depth than this photo shows.   

Please stop by on Friday morning, I have something extra special to share!  

Have a great evening!
