Arrange Layers of Paint Chips
Tape the card stock to the back of the mat that came with your frame. Create the first layer of color by placing foam adhesive dots on the back of chip sections and arranging them in a single layer on the card stock. Choose larger pieces first, in a variety of shapes and colors. Leave about 1/4-inch between chips.
Use the foam adhesive dots to stick on a second layer of color chips. The second layer of chips should be smaller in size than the first layer.
Add two or three more layers of color chips in a variety of colors and sizes. The foam dots will make each colored chip layer sit slightly above the one underneath.
