Thrifted Cutting Board Christmas Gnome Decor

Photo of a Betsey Clark inspired cutting board from Goodwill.
This little cutting board was found at Goodwill.  

I think it was hand painted with a Betsey Clark style character, popular with Hallmark back in the day.

At first I thought about painting the cutting board white, and brushed on a coat of Dixie Belle Boss to prevent any stain bleeding through the white paint.  The cutting board had been stained with a dark reddish brown wood stain.
But, I ended up painting the cutting board with Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Caviar (black) so the Boss it wasn't necessary.

After base coating the cutting board with Caviar, I pounced on portions of the Poinsettia Christmas Sweater Stencil from Old Sign Stencils.

All prices on the Old Sign Stencils's website are listed in Canadian currency.  A handy currency conversion link is provided for your convenience.

*Old Sign Stencils provided me with complimentary samples. All opinions about these fabulous stencils are my own.
Paints I used for stenciling include, Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Putty, and Juniper, and Fusion Mineral Paint in Raw Silk.

I found this gnome stencil at Hobby Lobby  in November.

I pounced the gnome on the cutting board and over the Poinsettia Sweater pattern stenciling, using more FMP in Raw Silk. 

I thought the poinsettias on the stencil were actually a bit too large for the size of the cutting board, and left them off.

I lightly distressed the edges of the cutting board using 220 grit sandpaper.

I wiped on Dixie Belle Best Dang Wax in Clear with a lint free rag.

Lastly, I added a jute twine hanger in the hole.
