Doodle Pantry has a secondary release this month of some older sets, now available in a colorized version, and a set of fabulous digital papers, called Country Flavors! Oh, I'm in love with nearly every one of the papers, and since blackberries are probably my favorite summer fruit, I had to do a card using blackberries for my image and two of the new papers. This just brings back great memories of heading out into the wild with buckets in hand and then picking wild blackberries until we had pounds and pounds of them for eating, freezing, baking pies, and finally making jams and preserves. Mmmmm, definitely the best of summer!
Here's my card using the "Blackberries" set. That set has its own papers, but I chose to use papers from the new Country Flavors set.
The image is printed twice in different sizes, then fussy cut and layered together. The same thing could be done merging .png images together but I'm still working on how to do merging so fussy cutting is my best option at this point. The images are layered onto a die cut which is mounted onto another larger die cut, made with one of the Country Flavors digi dp. That one is backed with white paper.
I used a second County Flavors dp for the vertical strip and added sheer purple ribbon with a great sparkle in it, then tied a bow. The sentiment is also from the Blackberries set and it's just printed and cut free hand, with scissors. It may be hard to see but I hand embossed two lines down the left side of the card, and then used the "Lattice" embossing folder on the right side of the card front. Obviously, those embossings were done before I started layering everything onto the card.
Challenges:
A Gem of a Challenge -- Lots of layers
Allsorts -- Favourite things (blackberries)
4 Crafty Chicks -- Dry emboss
Clearly I Stamp -- Summertime

I chose my sketch from Sketch Saturday, turned sideways,
and my colors from the challenge at Inkspirational.

Beautiful image of blackberries and you've showcased it beautifully. Hmmmmm....blackberry cobbler wants to be made. LOL
Great fussy cutting and love how you have layered these, gives a lovely dimension to your card. And for our challenge at Inkspirational it is really refreshing for your main colour to be green with all the purples in the combo, great to see something more unique! Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational
I love blackberries too - actually, I enjoy the process of gathering them from the hedgerows, taking them home and cooking them in a crumble. Your lovely card reminds me of all this and is perfect for our colour challenge.
Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges. Come back next week! Marina

ooooooo! love these blackberries! I still do not know how to accent with that white highlighting - your berries look so real! Very pretty card, with the ornate punch on your layers I especially like all the white on your card which pops out your amazing shading and green panels! hugs, de

Fun fun card and love the blackberries paired with the new papers. Great job. I love blackberries too.
I like the design you cut your mats into. reminds of a basket that strawberries/blackberries would come in.

Your creation is so beautiful with it's yummy reminders of summer and the rewards that good berry picking will bring. It reminds me of the days when I would berry pick with my Dad, and would pop some of those juicy morsels in my mouth instead of in the bucket. Lol. Thanks for the memory. Thanks for playing along with us at Clearly iStamp Blog Challenge.
NanaConnie, you did an awesome job on this card. I love the double image. This card reminds me of when I was a little girl and I used to hang over the fence and eat the blackberries off my neighbor's bush...ahhh, what memories!
