I like the way the card is turning out, but it is definitely missing something. Probably an embellishment of some sort. It's just a little too plain like this. I couldn't find a way to make any ribbon or hemp look right, though, so what else can you suggest?

Sometimes when a ribbon doesn't look right to me, I used one of the cords instead. They add a lot without being too much. I love this set and hope it's in the new catalog. TFS

OH - I know! I know! Pick me!!!
It's missing an envelope and a stamp so you can send it to me!
Okay, just kidding... that's a toughie because it's quite a nice card, but I know the feeling when you just want "something extra". I like the idea of either three black eyelets or brads, and I would likely put them either along the top outside edge (going vertical) or along the bottom outside edge (going horizontal). I'll be interested to see what you do with it!

Thank you so much for all your suggestions. I really appreciate your help.
When they gave us the set at Regionals, it was my understanding that this was a set from the new catty. It has not been available for purchase yet, I know that. So hopefully you can get one soon, too!

I love this card and never thought it was missing something. I loved the suggestions below - all of them were great. Perhaps you could also make the white piece of c/s a little longer and leave some space under of the image & greeting for black grosgrain, black narrow organdy or black hemp just wrapped around and knotted off to the side. I love the look of knots and they're much less intimidating to customers than bows. Thanks for sharing.
