I did almost the same thing. I colored permanent marker down the sticky side of a piece of scotch tape, taped it at my 1/4 inch mark,, rubbed it in place well, then peeled the tape off. I had a nice straight line at my 1/4 inch mark instead of tape that I seem to consistently peel the corners up on!
Cool!
