Default Does this need anything else?

I made this card yesterday for my hubby's Valentine, and I'm just wondering if I should include ribbon or brads (cool hardware aspect for guys) or something else? My husband isn't into a lot of frilly stuff, but I'm starting to second guess myself.

TIA!

Linda

No, I think that it is beautiful as is. I am always trying to "kick it up a notch" with all of my cards, and sometimes they look the best when we simply leave them as is. I really like it, and I think that the glitter and embossing give it that extra punch.

I wouldn't change it either, I think it needs to be very stark and simple, it adds to the elegance. It would be too busy and "bitty" with brads, IMO.

I think that it looks great just the way it is!!!

Maybe two brads horizontally in the bottom left corner, but even without them it looks gorgeous!!!!

It is pretty great the way it is. If you HAD to add anything, I'd go with the black organza ribbon to make him think of those sexy see through nighties! Hubba, hubba!
