My newest Spellbinder Die

I picked up the Contemporary Hearts Spellbinder die over the weekend when I was at my lss (local scrapbook store).  What fun!!!  I started using some scraps that were laying around to just try it out.  Below is my first project made with scraps from October Afternoon paper.

I combined this challenge with todays SCS (Splitcoaststampers) challenge to make faux suede paper.  It's a really easy technique - simple cut your paper to size, then run it along a table edge and keep curling it back and forth until the core of the paper starts to break down.  Then seperate the layers to reveal a suede-like texture on the inside.

The second card was combined with more October Afternoon paper for a coordinated look.   I added lots of bling to this in the form of rhinestones, glitter and gel pens. 

Which one is your favorite?

Thanks for looking!
