Wisteria..with love...

My late Dad planted a fabulous wisteria outside the front-room window of my parent's house, and year after year it has blossomed to give a glorious display of 'weeping' lavender coloured blooms, pretty much like the one on the front of this card. I loved this image as soon as I saw it and knew just how I was going to use it...as a frame. The bloom was cut from Papermania Shimmer Cardstock, layered up and adhered with foam pads to an embossed panel, wrapped with olive green ribbon and a bow. The embossed panel was, in turn, adhered to a slightly larger panel with a punched end. The card base was created by cutting a couple of inches off the front of an A5 card. The papers are from an old issue of Creative Cardmaking. The decorated panel was adhered to the front of the card with foam pads, adhereing the left-hand side only. The sentiment was cut from more shimmer cardstock and adhered with foam pads. A smattering of pearls completes the card.
