I'm embellishment challenged.. any suggestions?

Embellishment Challenged, its no secret..  I have said it before and I'll say it again.  I am so intimidated
by adding embellishments.  I see all of the beautiful cards online with gorgeous embellishments placed
all over them, yet when it comes to doing it myself, I freak out!

While I can see that my card below needs something, I just don't know what to do,  Any suggestions???   Thanks for taking a peak at my card.

  1. Ooo, I am the other way, hun - I never know when to stop with the embellishments. I have to forcibly tell myself to 'step away from the card'!! Lol.

    Your card is gorgeous - I love the yellow. Maybe you could add some leaves to the flowers and a what about a lovely yellow ribbon bow??

  3. To be honest I think you have the embellishments just right on this card, that image is beautiful.

  4. This is a really pretty card and I love the colours. All that I would add is perhaps a matching delicate organza bow, and maybe a few pearls or rhinestones - not too much!!

  7. This card is beautiful. You really need to do what you are comfortable with and what you like best! Some people have more of a simple style, while other like to pile it on. I go back and forth with the two, but tend to struggle more with simple. I feel like it may look too empty. If this was my card I would have added some bigger flowers and then some little flowers off to the side. Some ribbon and probably a sentiment with the little cupcake. Wow, Sher you did an amazing job coloring!

  8. I know what you mean, Sher. I am challenged in that way, too, and often spend hours deciding on embellishments LOL I like the pretty designer papers you have used, and the darling little flowers. I like your card the way it is - it is "you", Sher, and it means that it came from your heart - no one else can make a card like the one that comes from your dear heart. hugs, de
