Why do you need perfect layers? It is a good question and with a few cards we hope to show you the answer. Have you ever spent ages on a card, picking the right patterned paper only to put it all together and think it is missing something?
Take this card
You have spent ages colouring in your image, and adding those extra touches then selected papers that you think will work well together but although it looks alright it just lacks that final touch….but what is it? Yes it is Perfect Layers, they add contrast and make your image pop!
Now see how different the same card looks once each layer of the design has been mounted onto contrasting card and trimmed using the perfect layers mini 1/16″ ruler.

Notice now how the whole design has come together the patterned papers don’t just merge into one another any more.
The difference on pastel patterned papers is even more striking, take this image, all the papers just get lost in one another.
But as soon as you add a contrast with Perfect layers Mini it transforms into this
