I might try a small blue bird on the branch.

Perhaps some sheer ribbon along the bottom running under the pretty flowers?

I like the simplicity and softness of the stamped design and don't see the need for extra embellishments. Just add a sentiment and perhaps heat emboss that. I'd also add the same branch on the inside too. A portion of it on the envelope too.

I'm more of a less is more kind of person.

I agree with Patti's sentiment suggestion..something small, maybe the word "love" or "cherish" in a small oval, just a bit higher than center on the stamped panel. It's really PRETTY!!!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of a small sentiment on the front.

Agree with simple is best expressions and think your card is lovely! If it was me, I'd probably just put a medium sized brad or button in the middle of the White flower and put a simple expression to the left of the flower! Xx let us see what you decide in the end!!

I agree with a sentiment, maybe an appropriate small wish punched out with a scallop punch, using the colours that are in the rest of the card. I might mount it on the left side toward the top of the floral image.

Very pretty though, I like the black base!

Beth, show us what you decide on, OK? It's always fun to see how we fix or alter our ...I won't say mistakes, but things we just aren't completely happy with.

ANd we all have those, I'm sure!
