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.

Blue Fern Studios paper and chipboard (butterflies, titles, key latch, and small elements to the flowers.
Tim Holtz inks, hardware, paint. Washi tape
Faber-Castell Gelatos.  I used the gelatos on the title without a foundation of Gesso and then on the butterfly I prepped the chipboard with the Gesso.  Different look same technique.
