Hi! This is not an altered frame...the piece of paper in the frame is altered...BIG TIME! The frame came with a "certifcate" in it. #The type where you add a name and what they did, and someone signs it.# Well, I didn't just want to mat it with a wedding mat...This was before I enterred the world of stamping. I was however, scrapbooking and had oodles of stickers!
I went over the solid line that was around the entire rectangular certificate with bright yellow flowers with little butterflies all the way around. I decided that, once I got started and used all of those precious stickers--there was no backing out! I layered some long purple flowers that were swaying, in the corners. I matted the open spots in the center with matching bright yellow paper...our picture of us dancing...#which we do every night!# is on the left... our vows to each other...as we wrote them... on the right, topped with a large spray of flowers of purples, light pinks and white. And under the vows #in bright purple,# was a smaller grouping of purple and pink flowers. Our wedding colors were a very bright purple and brighter yellow! Our wedding colors shouted ALIVE! And GROWING!
This item has not a single part that reminds me of a certificate of completion. This is now one of my favorite items in our home.
