I am trying to figure out what kind of simple embellishment this card needs. I have tried a prima, dew drops, and a small bow, but none of them look right. It is hard to see in the picture, but I embossed the rectangle with my Nestabilities. I tried sponging around the outside of the rectangle, but the image gets 'lost'. Any suggestions or ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I think it's beautiful! I'm a sparkley girl and would probably add some glitter on the tips of the flowers, but not much, just enough. Otherwise though I think it's absolutetly gorgeous!
I guess I'll try some glitter. Funny thing is, I was thinking of trying that before I posted. So maybe that is what it needs.
Any one else have any other ideas? I am making 16 of them to send out, so I can experiment a little.
Thanks for the nice comments and ideas!! I knew I would be able to get some help from all of you!!
WOW!! I just put some diamond Stickles on the tips of the flowers, and that is exactly what it needed. I will post a pic tomorrow after it dries.
Thanks so much for the suggestion!!
*doing the happy dance*!!!
cb embossed would add a tiny bit of extra detail without detracting from the beautiful image, oh and definitely the glitter....
ok, so show us what you decide lol!

I agree about maybe adding a red mat to make the sentiment pop, or you could put red brads in the corners. I think it's beautiful! I love the different colors on the flowers. Great job!
Your image and coloring is beautiful. I would mat your image on a darker piece of card stock, I was thinking choc chip, and I see that that has already been suggested. I also like the ink direct to paper around the edges to add a little more dimension.
Ok... here is my final product. I loved all your suggestions, but I really wanted to stick with a one layer card. So the glitter won! The color in the photo is a little dark, but you can really see the stickles. The image is stamped with so saffron and really rust, and daubered with more mustard and really rust. I used diamond stickles (my fave!!). The glitter is just what it needed...don't you think so, too?
Thanks again for all your suggestions!
Help me...What does this card need?
