Altered Frame

Hello all!  I hope you are all having a wonderful Tuesday!  Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous for Missouri in January.  As for today, winter is officially back.  I have an altered frame to share with you today. This is my first attempt and I am pretty happy with how it turned out.  A good friend of mine is pregnant with baby number two and I wanted to make them something for the nursery.  I bought this frame at Michaels and now wish I had taken a picture of it before.  This particular frame worked out nicely as it fits a 12 x 12 sheet of paper perfectly.  I first took the glass out of the frame and in pencil I traced around the 5 x 7 rectangle for the picture.  Once the picture portion was traced, I cut it out and attached the paper to the frame with Modge Podge.  I let the frame sit over night and then added the other images to the frame with Modge Podge.  As for the images, I used the following cartridges;  Create a Critter, Baby Steps and Pooh and Friends.  It is kind of hard to tell from the picture but I clear embossed swirls on the clouds to give them some extra depth.  I also inked all the edges with Tea Dye distress ink.  Once the frame was completed I sprayed it with Krylon's Matte Finishing Spray which I found at Wal-Mart.
