To start, I’m going to stain the cutting board base and frame detail shown below.

To do this, add some of the gel stain to the surface and rub it in with a clean cloth.

I like to stain then mist off with water to create a bit of a lighter look.  If you like it darker, you can skip this step.

Next, I used the color Whitecap to paint the base squares that the “Hello Spring” and “Hello Summer” cutouts will be glued to.  I also used this color to paint the frame piece shown below.

Now, we’ll be using a makeup sponge to paint the individual cutout pieces.  Start with the color Anchor and paint the “Hello Summer” cutout.

Then, I mixed the colors Daisy and Rebel Yellow to create a custom color for the “Hello Spring” cutout.  You don’t have to used both colors if you don’t have them on hand.

You can see here how I used the custom yellow color along with the color Daisy on the outer edges to create an Ombre affect.  Again, feel free to use only one color if you’d like.

I painted the larger flowers using a mix of Prickly Pear and a dab of the Whitecap to mute it a bit.  Then I used just Prickly Pear for the smaller ones.

Next, use an old scruffy brush and pounce in a bit of yellow to the centers of the flowers.

For the leaf embellishment, I first stained it and then took a damp rag and washed on the kudzu and Whitecap randomly to get the desired look.
