I think I like this better.  I used DSP for the sentiment.

 

Helpful Hint - How to tie a bow around a card without tearing up the cardstock.

I created templates out of sturdy cardstock for the common sizes used in cardmaking. I cut the templates about 1/16" less than the size of a card I wish to wrap around with ribbon. I also noted on the template how much ribbon is needed. Simply tie the "perfect" bow; which in my case make take four tries, and slip it off the template. You may have to gently bend the card to get the ribbon on. I secure in place with Glue Dots strategically placed near the knot and on the inside of the card.

* Put the DSP in the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and run it through your Big Shot several times.  This deepens the embossing which allows for easy cutting out of hexagon.  Start at the bottom of the DSP and cut out one hexagon at a time and glue it in place on the Whisper White embossed cardstock.  After the Whisper White cardstock is covered with the hexagons, trim paper to measures 3 3/4" x 3".
