The four labels used in this framing project were reproductions of classic travel labels used in the early 20th century. They are not considered archival and are purely decorative.
I cut a Rag Mat slightly smaller (approximately 1/8 inch all the way around) in the same shape as the labels. I then attached the labels (which were peel-off stickers) to the matboard carefully, centering them on the boards. Once each label was on a matboard, I began adding spacers for height differences. |
| The "French Line" label and the lower "Wanted on Voyage" are the same height– using a single Fome-Cor® acid-free spacer to lift them off the backing piece of Bronze Moorman Suede (7182). Then a double Fome-Cor spaces the upper "Wanted on Voyage" label, to overlap the two lower stickers as shown. To add more dimension to the "Regina" label, I added 1 more layer of 8 ply to the double Fome-Cor spacers, giving that layer more height. All spacers were cut small to hide behind the labels. I attached all the pieces with silicone for strong adhesion to the suede board. |

The final product uses Crescent's Moorman Polaris (7120) as the top mat, cut 2 7/8 inches. Moorman Marine Blue (7113) is the second mat, showing 1/4 inch, cut 3 1/8 inches with triple foam core spacers under the top two mats.
