I am playing along with Kim's fun HYCCT1414 challenge to create a STEP card.
My first thought upon seeing Kim's challenge was "I don't feel like it" BUT really a step card is super EASY using the tutorials here at SCS. I am surprised every time I create a step card, how fun and easy it really is. I hope that if you feel like I did, you will ignore the feeling and go ahead and dive right in. Surprise yourself!!!
I used mixed media paper, followed along with Beate's easy tutorial cutting and scoring then stopped and did not fold. At this point I dabbed distress inks on craft mat and spritzed with water then swished the scored cardstock through the ink to create my own dyed paper. After the paper dried I folded according to the tutorial. I cut up the fun beach border that my sweet friend Brenda had sent me added the die cut DREAM and I was done!

Angie, you are so smart and clever. that is thinking to decide to do that before you folded it. I have stamped the whole piece but I sure like your idea of inking it first! tfs
