Torn Edge Borders

Using complimentary colors of cardstock can really bring a layout to life. Below are two examples of using cardstock and tearing the edges to create a border. By layering the colors at one edge of the layout, a simple but textured border is achieved. I use this technique when I want to keep the focus on the pictures but still want some type of embellishment. It also makes for a very quick page.
