"Give Us This Day" Tray Makeover

Paint can transform a piece and really make the details stand out. I bought this tray at the Goodwill for $1.91. 
 "Give us this day our daily bread" and a picture were carved in the center. You could hardly make out the design...

 So, I got out my Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and painted the tray...
To make the details stand out, I applied a brown acrylic paint to the recessed areas...

 Then, using a damp rag, I wiped away the excess paint...
Here you can see how the design looks with the brown paint and without...
And,
the finished product...
