You should use a heat resistant craft mat to protect your work surface.

 

Cut out the card base using the 2nd to the largest die from the Nestabilities and cut out the top layer using the next smaller die.

using your sentiment stamp, glue pad, embossing powder, and heat tool, Emboss the sentiment onto the front of your top card layer. (do this before it is attached so the heat it doesn't curl the card base)

Score across the center of each card piece and fold. Cut out the 2 accents from the Shapeabilities using the blue card stock. (you may want wax paper for these dies)

Punch from your scraps a 1 1/8" circle. Using the metallic rub, distress the edges of the card base,  the top layer and the circle then daub onto the 2 accent pieces.Now attach the top layer to the card base using dries clear adhesive.

Assemble your pendant - Layer the large accent, circle, small accent and the pearl. Attach 2 jump rings, chain piece, and another jump ring to each side and attach the charm with a jump ring.

Use a paper piercer to make the holes for the jump rings to attach to the card, Positioning is very important so that your card will still open properly and so the rings won't tear loose while opening the card. Be sure to use a piercing mat, you will be piercing through both layers of card stock here.

Attach the chains to the card and add 2 foam pop ups behind the paper pendant to hold in place.

Decorate the inside of card as desired...
