Hey friends!! Michelle here, bubbling over with excitement to finally share a project that's been swirling in my mind for months! I've been itching to bring this idea to life, and I finally just sat down and let the creative juices flow!  Today, I'm using a wooden cradle board in a slightly unconventional way. By turning it over, I discovered the perfect indented area – just waiting to be filled and transformed with a variety of beautiful moss. I think you're going to love it!  .

For the moss I used sheet moss from the floral department at the craft store and just cut it to size before hot glueing it place.

For the focal point piece I gave this beautiful chipboard frame a good rubbing of Perfect Paints Shimmering Matte Acrylic Paint in "Vintage Patina"

Then highlighted the tips with a touch of Polishing Plaster in "Shimmering Sage" for a snowy effect.

While I was laying down some color on chipboard I added some Polishing Plaster in "Frosted Pine" to this sprig of pine chipboard.

Finally I layered all those chipboard pieces along with some amazing 49 & Market die cuts.

To turn this into a changeable photo frame I tucked a small clothes pin just under the chipboard wreath and the adhered one of the 49 & Market die cuts to camouflage the clip.


I have to tell you I'm totally obsessed with it! I might make another one! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you were inspired to make something beautiful!
