Muse Challenge #121 contains an awesome card by the talented Michelle Ferguson, who blogs at I Card Everyone. Michelle's card has 3 white flowers with large blue circular centers and a very fresh and summery blue, white, and green palette. I fell in love with those colors.
Since I'm fruit obsessed this summer, I saw blueberries and drew my own, adding a wonderfully scripted sentiment from Waltzingmouse.
