Mounting black and white images enhances the picture. A work of art does not look complete unless it is displayed with a professional finish. It is usual to choose a contrasting color for mounting, so the image stands out from the background. It also is standard practice to mount black and white images onto contrasting black, white or neutral grey backgrounds to create a stylish monochromatic effect. However, black and white images are effective against a wide range of color choices.

Visit your local arts and crafts store to browse the color range of art mounting boards or thick card. Take a copy of your black and white image to hold up against specific colors. Match up your image against different color mounts to find which color looks most effective and makes your image stand out.
2Purchase your card or mounting sheet.
3Purchase a frame from a crafts or picture frames store.
4Stick your image onto your mounting board using a glue stick. Mark in pencil, on the front of the mounting board, where the corners of your image are to be positioned. Use your image as a template and draw pencil dashes to mark the corner position. Make sure you have an equal border around the perimeter of your image by using a ruler to measure the distance from the edge of the image to the edge of the board. Drag the glue stick along the edges of the back of the image. Place a cross of glue in the center. Locate the corner pencil markings and stick your black and white image in place.
5Cut out a frame for your image as an alternative method. This gives a more professional finish. Use a pencil and ruler to draw the image shape on to the back of the mounting board. Make it a fraction smaller, by about 1/5 of an inch on each side, so that the frame can fit over the image. Ensure there is an equal border around the image. Place the mounting board down on a wooden board or a rubber mat. Cut out the image shape with a metal ruler and sharp craft knife. Cut the edges straight and clean. Place the frame over the image to check whether is a snug fit. Stick a small dab of blue tack in the corner of the frame on the back of mounting board to keep the images temporarily in place. Turn the mounting board over. Secure the image in place with strips of masking tape along the edges of the image. Remove the blue tack a corner at a time as you attach the image.
6Place the mounted image inside a picture frame to protect the image and add a professional finish.
