It is a beautiful card! I'd love to see some black ribbon on it somewhere. I think that would really make it pop.

I think some charm or little gold key with fuzzy fibers would look really cool.
Nice card!

It's a beautiful card! Maybe a little metal--like a brad, eyelet or hodgepodge?
Awesome job with the greens!

I like the idea of adding a little black to the card. Maybe you could put just a very thin layer under one of the matted stamped images.

Black gingham in the hole of the tag,
tie black gingham around the lower part of the tag as well and add a charm where you tie the knot.
Beautiful card.
photo tip: Turn off your flash when you re-photograph to prevent the glare.
Hope that helps!

I like the black layer idea and I agree a gold charm or clip would add something special!

I looked at the first card and thought......it needs fiber and such. Then read about the black suggestions. THEN saw the remade card. WHAT a difference the gingham and charm made. It went from an okay card to a "gotta save that in my favs" card. Great job, Nancy!
