Recently I made some bridal invitations, and they inspired me to create a 'bridal' card. I like to crochet so I decided to put the two together. Here is the result.

Everything else: paper clip (hanger), green ribbon (to cover hanger), white lace (veil), white Red Heart Fashion Crochet Thread, Size 3, adhesive faux pearls (tiny and small) and pearly beads, white paper rose with leaves, Winter Wonderland glitter (Martha Stwart).
