Mat Board: Choosing Color
By Chad Barker
Mat board is the material that is used to frame a picture inside of the picture frame. For example, you will lay your frame down on a table and insert the glass piece. Next will come the mat board which looks like a cut out. Then the picture and finally the backing are placed on the frame. Although most don't think twice about mat board, you should. It helps to create a professional looking picture that is elegant and well designed. If you have been using mat board, have you actually thought of using colored pieces?
There is no unwritten rule anywhere that says that this board has to be boring and dull. In fact, it can be used as a tool to pull color from the photo that it is being used with. If you have a standard photo in the frame, for example, and it only has a bit of color to it, using a matching color on the mat board will help to make the photo jump out at you and really become an enjoyable piece of art.
You can also use mat board as a designing field. By designing it with stamps, colorings, or other images, you can truly help your picture to stand out. There are many other ways that you can do this and each way allows you to take control over your beautiful photo.
You can purchase this product at most craft stores or right online. If you don't have any in your home in the frames that you have, purchase a large batch of them and start adding them in. You will quickly see the difference in each frame that they are placed in. What's more is that you will be able to play off the colors offered in the photos to really create a unique look.
