Welcome to a new Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge. I love having a sketch to start a project! I love how this card turned out and the sketch is a big part of the appeal.
To get the notches in the corners you could use a die if you have one like that. I don't so I had to improvise using a circle punch. I put those two layers of paper on top of each other so I could punch them at the same time. Then I inserted the corner into the punch until I had the angle I wanted and punched! I made a small mark on the punch so I could keep the corners the same.
Since I used layers of patterned papers I needed to define the edges. I used a sponge apply ink to the edges to give it just enough to blend in and yet define the edges. I popped up the white layer with Thin 3D Foam Tape, wrapped some gold thread around my fingers to make a bow, added some glitter gems. The final touch was to do a shimmer wash over the sentiment.
Here is a close-up showing the shimmer over the sentiment.
