TORN LAYER CARD

TORN LAYER CARD
Another card from Sharon's buttons demo this week.

The two buttons attached to the left side of the card feature old vehicles and match in perfectly not only with the vintage theme, but also with the round shape of the clocks and penny farthing wheels.

Patterned papers are usually printed on a white base core, and Sharon has used this effectively to add a distinctive edge to the torn paper layers.  If you're a bit under-confident about tearing, rip the paper towards you, using the side of your l.h (if you're right handed) thumb as a guide, to make sure you keep vaguely on-track, without ending up with a totally straight edge, as you would if you, for example tore against a ruler.

You can see how this can be a great technique for using up all those little scraps of paper you can't bear to throw out.  (Yes, OK....when I say you, I really mean me!!).  Plus, its once again an easy design to adapt for many different occasions
