Inspiration Rendition: Custom Heart Mat Board
Here it is...my rendition of a custom mat board from my previous inspiration post. If you would like to know the steps involved in this creation, just continue reading.
(pictured) woven paper background, old wooden frame, spray paint of your choosing, heart template and poster board – (not pictured) pencil, scissors and/or a x-acto knife
STEPS
Note pictured but an important step to do ~ take the poster board and cut it down to the size of the frame. This task can be accomplished by tracing around the frame with a pencil onto the poster board and then cutting the poster board down to size with scissors.
Spray paint the wooden frame and woven paper background in a color of your choosing and let dry. I used a brushed metallic nickel color.
Take heart template, position it on poster board (centered, diagonal, or however you prefer), trace with pencil then cut out with scissors or x-acto knife whichever tool you prefer.
Now you should have something similar to the image above
Position your dried woven paper background behind the heart mat - you can tape in place if you like, then frame.
It’s as easy as that. Until next time, let inspiration find you!
