We’ve finished building our new home, moved in and are slowly readjusting to our day to day life. I’m looking forward to a week from today when my son Isaac starts 1st grade. I’m not one of those weepy moms that has a hard time with the separation. I give him a big hug, a pat on the back and do an internal jump for joy that we’ve reached the point in his development where he doesn’t need me all day long. I’ll miss him, but not too much.

Here’s a card that was used in the Spellbinders catalog supplement for CHA-Summer this past month. After doing the reveal for the Kaleidoscope die, it has continued to wow me on several projects. I love cutting the pendant center with felt, as shown here.

Supplies:
White Acrylic Paint; Copic Marker: Cadmium Red; Spellbinders Impressability: Butterfly; Spellbinders Die Templates: Kaleidoscope Pendant, Ribbon Tag Trio 2; Stamp: Hero Arts; Pearls: Creative Impressions; Felt; Cardstock: The Paper Company, Neenah

This card has a couple of notable techniques in it, including air brushed Impressabilities, and the simple, but fun, method of filling a nestability shape with buttons, beads, and other findings. My favorite part of this card though is the chipboard shape. It was a scrap I had laying in my stash and the last thing I added on, just to pull the whole thing together. I used my copic markers to color directly onto the chipboard and I love the faux suede look that resulted.
