Chalk Finished Distressed Picture Frame

I made this cross stitch picture several years ago and had it in a plain wood frame. Lately, I've been re-doing my home decor. Taking it to a more homespun/primitive look. The wooden frame was plain dark brown and looked blah so I decided to chalk paint & distress it. I've found out if I mix a little cream chalk finish paint with acrylic paint I still get the chalk finish for a quarter of the cost and a wider range of color options. I have to say that I think it turned out good and makes the cross stitch picture "pop". This was a test project. My next project is to chalk paint & distress a white wall cabinet that my daughter gave me. If it turns out like this, I'll be tickled.
