Here is my card for this week...



I love the black and white colour combination - so crisp & clean.  For this card, I kept it CAS. To create the focal item, I cut two pieces in black, using my Nestie Renaissance Heart Pendant. I then scored and folded both pieces to resemble a "fan," and glued both pieces together. The white center piece is from the same Nestie collection. To pull is all together, I attached a large black brad in the center, and topped that off with Prima Jewelry. The results is this lovely "pinwheel."  I have had the Renaissance Heart Pendant for a while now, but this is the first project I have been able to use it with!  What other goodies do I have in my craft stash that I not used?  Hmmm....

Card Recipe:
Tools: Nestabilities Renaissance Heart Pendant, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder -
Embellishments: Kaisercraft Pearls - Snow, Primas Jewelry, Sheer Black Ribbon, Black Embossing Powder.
Stamp: Stampin' Up!
