 I chose designer papers from Echo Park's (Note to Self) collection and paired it with Bazzill's Marshmallow, Peanut Cluster and Licorice Twist cardstock.  I then tied some Graphite Vintage Seam Binding into a simple knot and frayed the ends.  I also used my new Perfect Layers tool to achieve the perfectly straight and spaced 1/16" layers on my card.  I LOVE this tool, there is NO measuring...the tool does the work for you!!  :)  You can create layers from 1/16 " to 1".  Believe me when I say it's a must have for card makers and scrapbooker's alike!!  Click HERE and use coupon code: Wendy5% for a discount at check-out.
