I thought I would show you how much paper I save using my Perfect Layers Rulers, this is just one of the reasons I love it. The card is 5x7 and the sheets of card stock are 8.5x11. I cut 2 blue frames and 2 black frames using less than a half sheet of card stock, isn't that great! I glued my image right on to the full sheet of blue, cut my frame, then did the same on to the black card stock cut the larger frame from the patterned cs, then did another black and blue frame. I flipped the piece in the middle photo so you can see I don't even need to place it correctly, I can glue it on crooked and it will still cut a perfect border. I used 2 different size prints of the patterned cs, (I had not made the decision to use the larger sheet as yet.) The image is free from Magic Moonlight, the paper is Nouveau Nights from Gecko Galz, solid color cardstock is Stampin Up. I used a Spellbinders NEST-SET-4 Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies for the sentiment a little Tim Holtz distress ink and the lace flower is from Pizzaz Aplenty.
