This may not look like a masculine card, but it is. It's for my wonderful FIL who braved the chiggers and ticks in the humid Tennessee heat to pick two gallons of blackberries for me just because he knows I love them. Isn't that sweet?!
When I saw today's challenge colors, I thought:
Old Olive....aaaaahh
Elegant Eggplant....ooooohh
Taken With Teal....?....ick!
Well, teal is just not a color that I like very much. But there sure are some pretty cards in today's color challenge gallery. I guess I could be wrong about teal. TFL!!

I love the details you have put into this great card! Even though you don't like the Teal, it's just enough in your card to accent the other colors, etc. Nice card, your FIL will love it! What a nice treat for you, then him! Berry nice! LOL

Gorgeous card. As I was reading the description I was thinking that blackberry coffee cake would be wonderful. I wonder if there are any places near me to find some.
