Hello everyone and a very warm welcome to my blog.
Hope you are all well and having a lovely day. The weather is a bit warm here in Adelaide but I think we're going to have to get used to it as we are heading into another 40+ heatwave. Yuck!!
Anyway, to my card. A few days ago, Brenda Caldow (one of my FB friends ) invited me to 'like' Scrapbookit's FB page and in doing so she urged me to enter their Challenge. Now, as most of you will know, I don't really Scrapbook. I did create a page a little while ago, but that was with my Granddaughter so it was a special occasion. Brenda assured me though that they will accept cards, so here goes.
There is a list of different criteria, and you have to use any three in your project. One of the criteria is to use Kaisercraft papers.
I wanted to use some brighter colours on this card so I chose papers from four different Kaisercraft Collections. 'Check In', 'Basecoat', 'The Looking Glass' and 'Pickled Pear'. I love how you can mix and match KC Papers and it all still blends together so nicely.
The next criteria I chose was to 'ink' the edges. Well that was a no brainer. I usually do ink my edges anyway and more often than not I use Walnut Stain Distress Ink which is what I used here. Wasn't as heavy handed with it this time because I didn't want the card to become too 'grungy'.
The third criteria I chose was to use layers of patterned paper which, again, I do quite a lot so that was no problem either. As you can see there are three layers of different patterned paper on this card.
All the labels used are from 'The Looking Glass' 6 x 6 Paper Pack.
I think I'm getting addicted to Centre Step Cards as I've made quite a few now. Will be posting more of them later.
The inside is decorated quite simply. It will get a bit more treatment when I'm ready to add the sentiment.
So there it is. Another 'Boy' Card done and a Challenge entered. A good day's work I reckon.

Thank you so much for visiting my little blog and, hopefully, leaving me a little love. Always appreciated.
Please take care and enjoy the rest of your day.
God Bless.
