Embroidered prayer shawl, but not a Tallis?

I (female, Conservative by raising/nature, member at a Reform shul by geographic necessity) realize every time I throw a wrap/shawl on when praying how much better it feels. I don’t, personally, hold by women wearing tzitzit and don’t own a Tallis or intend to in the future. Not trying to start a halachic/minhag debate, just my feelings. I also embroider pretty well. As long as I don’t put tzitzit or an Atarah band on it, would it be permissible to embroider a linen shawl with Jewish motifs, in the spirit of hiddur mitzvah, and wear it while praying?
