Framed Wildflowers

Do you love wildflowers? I sure do.  My husband picked this up for me at a garage sale a long time ago.  It is just a poster that was stuck to a piece of cardboard glued to the frame.  I've been wanting to so something with it for a while, but just didn't have the inspiration.  Well inspiration hit this week and so this is what I came up with.

I re-taped the poster to the cardboard and then re-glued it to the frame.  Then I added a couple layers of ribbon along the bottom, and some swatches of material that I pulled out of an old lampshade last summer.  (the lamp shades plastic was coming apart)  I then made some jute bows, some blue lacy ribbon 'leaves' that I added to the flowers and pulled out a metal frame/tag thingy and a metal sentiment and metal butterflies.  Then for the more 'natural' part.  I snagged some pussy willows from a display in my livingroom and tied them together with some ribbon, jute and ribbon.  I of course glued them together and then glued them to the picture (I didn't want to, but I could find no other way that looked ok to  me. ).  So that's it.  I think it's far pretty to look at now as I walk down my stairs. :)
Here are some close up pics of the details. You can click on the pictures to see them bigger to if you want.
