My very first ever Side Step Card

Good Afternoon everyone.  I have been working diligently on a very challenging task today.....my first attempt at a side step card.  I browsed around the blogs and found a tutorial with instructions that seemed fairly easy for me to follow and started crafting away.  The resource I used was CraftDoc's Easter Side Step Card.

• I started with Brown (Kraft) card stock as my base cut and scored according to the above instructions.
• I used a cream colored swirl pattern pattern paper as my accent for the front of the card (and the front of each "step).  
• I used my Serenade cartridge to cut the tree branch on the front and the two smaller spooky trees in the back.
• I hand cut some leaves from Red, Yellow, and Orange textured card stock to place on the branch as well as at the bottom of the front of the card. 
• I fussy cut my green (square print) paper to look like grass.
• I fussy cut an embossed olive green paper to look like grass behind the two smaller trees.
  
• I also used some scraps left over from my white 12X12 die cut sheets to look like a fence and inked it with Gray Studio G ink.
• I stenciled some pumpkins on an orange patterned paper then cut them out by hand and backed them with Swiss dot orange textured card stock.  They were placed behind the fence on the front of the card.
• I cut Halloween page borders to fit the bottoms of each "step" of the card (Boo 'n' ghost, pumpkins, & skulls).
• Finally, I used a rub on sentiment on the front HAPPY HALLOWEEN
