This is a card for a friend who's expecting. I would have used darker purple colored ribbon in hindsight. I would also like to embellish some more but don't really know how or what to add. Help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

I think it's lovely just the way it is. I wouldn't add a thing. If you insisted, you might just repeat that pretty corner embellishment in the bottom as well, but I might make you give back the ribbon altogether in exchange.

I agree with the first SCS member who left a comment, I too think it's lovely just as it is. I also struggle with knowing what to do at times--how far to take embellishments without going too far. Perhaps you could put the same corner white embellishment in the lower RH corner, or perhaps take part of the larger fancier embellishment and use that in the lower RH and upper LH corners. It's always a matter of playing around with what you've got until you like it. For me, it takes more time than it probably does for most others--I wish I was a much faster card-maker. But I am learning as I go, and I'm happy about that. I learn from everyone here at SCS too, and people here are SO KIND and helpful.
Thank you for your very encouraging words. I too hope to find my style and my "artistic" view point by gaining experience through the challenges here as well as the constructive viewpoints from other card makers.
