A cool crab wearing shades
Got this wonderful print from @inherentlee recently and I was out of 4x6 frames so I found some nicely contrasting scrapbook paper in my stash and framed it in a 5x7. Hate trans people? Fix your heart or die. I'm not real picky what you choose.

@illuminesce @inherentlee I found these frames at the thrift recently (still in the original plastic wrap from the 90s) for $2 each and had to have them, there were two 8x10s and a 5x7 and I bought all three of them.

Recommend it for odd sized prints, or jus ones you just want to add a little more accent to. I stick them to the "mat" with two sided tape for scrapbooking or a little bit of glue stick.yep

@neckspike I wanna try this with original art! Maybe zazz up those 6x9 sketchbook pages that I send to people :O I wonder how structurally sound it would be to use cardboard for the backing...?

@scumsuck
I've done several sketchbook pages with a piece of black cardstock for backing! I only very recently started playing with proper matboard and it's more. difficult to work with

Like these!

@neckspike Hell yeah! I do have some different colored cardstock I use for printing zines, this gives me lots of ideas! And boy do I know how hard proper matboard is to cut... Thank you!

@scumsuck
These are the cheap snap together frames you can get at craft stores or Walmart where it's one piece of plastic and the glass +art+backing snap in place from the front so they don't really have room for thick matboard. A piece of acid free card + the piece of card that comes in the frame is plenty for rigidity in my experience.
