and now for my holiday project!

Today we are going to make this…

You will need

a stamp image (or multiple images)
ink
coloring items (pencils or markers or chalk)
a frame (I used a dollar store frame)
cardstock (I used white and a background color)
assorted paper scraps

For the first step I took the “mat” out from the frame and traced it onto cardstock and then cut it out to make a mat, saving insides to stamp images on.

I then tore the paper scraps into small pieces and glued them onto the mat.

I then trimmed any excess paper off the mat and placed a darker cardstock behind this mat.

I then stamped my images onto the scraps from the inside of the mat piece and colored the images.

I then trimmed the stamped images so that they could be matted on the darker cardstock.

And then placed both mats into the frame :D

You could vary this and include multiple mattes if desired or even cut out images to place inside frame as i did here with February Kit
