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!!

Just gorgeous! Love your image and your coloring is right on! Love the distress edges and layout and eyelets and rope threaded through them. This is a very pretty card! TFS :0)

Sun-ripened is one of the retired sets I wish I could own. You've made a wonderful card with it. I especially love the way you colored the leaves (not just green).
