Thanks, Dave. I just used some acrylic craft paint. I used the pattern after I removed it as a stencil to help with where to paint on the backer. 

The wood is 1/2" so the colors don't all show up as much as on thin plywood, but I actually like the way it works, as you move from one side to the other different parts stand out.

That is really cool! Is it your pattern? Can you share it?

[Denny Knappen]

Very well done.  Isn't that always the case about someone wanting one after you make one.

Sorry , it’s not my pattern. It was a stencil on Etsy and the lady gave me permission to use it.

Really nice....I didn't know you painted like that.  Nice selection of colors and blending almost looked like you airbrushed it.  Very pretty, I can see why you wife and daughter want one as well...

Thanks. I definitely benefited from the fact that only small areas show through the cuts. It's a mess behind the wood.
