"Home" cutting board for Creative Artiste

Hello friends! My daughter picked up a couple cute wooden cutting boards at Dollarama and asked me if I thought I could use them for some sort of project, and I was definitely intrigued by the thought; it's always interesting to find new backgrounds for my assemblage creations!

Because I didn't want to colour the entire piece, I glued my arrangement onto a piece of thin cardboard rather than directly onto the board. I then painted that with tan acrylic paint before adding mists in shades of teal, green, yellow and gold. (I also used these steps on the letters and hexagons so they would coordinate) then rubbed Art Alchemy metallique waxed in Lucky Emerald and Polished Brass over some of the surfaces.

I used DecoArte moss paste here and there along the edges, then rubbed with the same waxes. A little gold thread wrapped diagonally and an ornate leaf chippie from my stash completed the look.

I love to use dollar store items or thrift store finds as bases for my creations; I see them as a fun challenge, and I hope you enjoy seeing them.Thanks so much for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful March!!
