Create a Layer with Washi Tape

I'm working hard to make the best use of my paper stash, but I also love the look of layers.  On this layout I used some of my Washi tape that I hoard to create a "faux" layer.  I used my Tim Holtz Washi tape to create the first frame around the paper.  I turned the corners inward and used just one long piece.  On the second layer I used a white/nearly transparent Washi tape, cut into four strips.  Together it interrupts the pattern of the paper making a faux layer on your page.
