Design influenced by Splitcoaststampers WCW066 | "Hello" | Digital Project | A few smears of Soft Sea Foam are included to white lumpy linen WC paper. The blueberry greenery and blueberries appear next. A small Pale Papaya tag with text stamp comes last. The small small dot is where the stem connects. The opposite end is the calyx which is where the seeds exit. | Created via #Inkscape | Poster: brentsCards

WOW....talk about realistic.....your berries have it!! Beautiful shading and highlighting on the berries themselves and grounded with the shadows if from a strong light source. You obviously know what you are about with design and art, Brent. Great CAS card!

This would have made a wonderful reference picture for my card...you have all the details of the blueberries done beautifully. Thanks for sharing your creative mind with us.
