Image Mat and Sentiment
Cut a solid red rectangle (4" x 5 1/4"), a plaid rectangle (3 3/4" x 5"), and a green rectangle (3" x 4 1/4"). Adhere them together to form the mat. Stamp the sentiment in black in the center of the bottom area of the green rectangle. Tie a red ribbon around the stack, using the single knot as decoration. Mount the image oval over the ribbon.
