FOCUS ON THE SENTIMENT

I made a card with an idea I have been mulling over for a while now.  I have seen similar cards made with dies, but this is what I came up with:


I started off by printing a free digi sentiment from Donemark Crafts onto white CS.  I scored down the middle, and also at the edges.  I  used gold CC, and pasted the white CS onto it so that the pages are bowed :

I added gold florist's ribbon (because it will stand up better) and white satin ribbon, and three pearl hearts:

The card base is white, topped with heart themed DP (inked edges).
