Blue Magnolia Flower

I have managed to make a card a day while here on vacation.  My secret, I get up early and create while the house is quiet.  Today's card will be entered in three challenges.  The first one is a brand new one that my good friend, Kathy Krug is on the design team.  Check out the Double D Challenge.  The challenge, a Forget Me Not challenge and there was an inspiration picture.  I was inspired by the colors and I went really big with the blue flower, but got some small blue flowers in the background.

Here is my card.
I am  entering this card in the following challenges.
