Time for something a little different from me. Well I actually I do these from time to time but haven't shared any for while. This is a wooden home decoration that I made using a fabulous MDF wooden plaque...

This as made using the Ho Ho Ho plaque from Anna Marie Designs. I covered it with paint then sponged on some light brown paint. I then covered the whole word with chunky glass glitter. I added lots of rustic natural embellishments including pine cones, snow sprigs, dried flowers, moss and some white berries. I added a snowflake button to finish. It was such a fun make and honestly once the paint was dry it barely took any time at all.
