The BrideCompleted by Gail Pennycuick

I printed the design onto quality photo paper, cut it out and decoupaged the pieces. I adhered it centrally to a square black card, then on either side I used lengths of white tulle bunched together and attached them with a black embroidery thread and couching.

Then I attached an arrangement of paper flowers, beads and a crystal stick-pin with stitches, pushing it under the tulle to hide the stems.

I finished the card with some tiny faux pearls on the image. This makes up into an unusual bridal card. The black and white are departures from the standard pastels with the end result being a stunning card.
