My Embrace Needs Help. . . .

I have a good excuse why I hadn't posted in several days; because I was stuck on this card:

(Please ignore that black line along the top right that my scanner picked up.) I saw Nicole Heady's card and wanted to imitate it, (AKA: CASE) and then I was stumped on the sentiment element. I just couldn't get it to work the way I wanted. I finally added the three faux brads along the top to help balance the card and let it go.

Feel free to drop some suggestions on how to improve this card. Perhaps I'll give it another try! :D
