I have just sold one of my nature prints online and the customer has asked if they can have a signed certificate of authenticity. I just wondered, how would I go about putting something like this together? its not something I usually do but I feel kind of flattered she has asked and I have also offered to write a small piece about the image, where/when it was taken etc. She has bought it as a xmas present for her husband and its a pretty large print! Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside that someone is giving one of my images as a xmas pressie..

so, anyone out there got any ideas what I could put together?

Muchos Gracis.

I would just lay out something in "fancy" fonts using a page layout/word processing program, print it onto "parchment" paper, and sign it in blue ink so that it's (pretty) clear that it's not a copy. You can also buy paper with fancy borders pre-printed, which are intended for awards/certificates.

Thanks, I see why they like it. My fav is #5...the fox, but they are all very nice.

Probably, or larger office-supply shops ... maybe try a search for "certificate printing stationery UK" ...

PS: most shops are stationary unless on wheels or located in landslide zones ... ;-)
