This is one of those projects that popped in my head while I was laying awake for hours at night. I had to give it a try in hopes to sleep better the next night 🙂
It was really easy and fast. Here is how I did it.
I started with a piece of wood I found in my husbands wood pile. He confessed to me the other day that he has a problem with collecting scraps of wood. I told him I had no problem with this, and together we could have quite the fabric and wood collections. A match made in Heaven.
Then I gathered up 3 different shades of blue paint, and a white.
I squirted them on the board and swirled it around.
This was the result.
Then I went to Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon and got this stencil.
I then stenciled on the snowflakes randomly.
Once it was dry I sanded it down really good.
Now if only I had a pretty mantel piece to put this on. Hmmmm.

This is a really neat project. It's totally something fun that I can do and that I actually have TIME to do too. Thanks for posting it. Just one question, why did you sand it once you were finished with the painting?
Simple. Beautiful. Love it! Thanks for the idea. Now to raid my supplies… 🙂
