How to do a Blended Distressed Paint Finish

I recently posted pictures of a bar I painted on the IOD Creative tribe group and several people asked if I could show the technique I used to create the piece in a video. To keep things simple I have shown this painting technique on a small table . However it's the exact same way that I painted my bar.

Step one
I applied Annie Sloan's old ochre to the table using a stippling method covering the whole piece.
Step two
I then applied French linen and olive. both by Annie Sloan again stippling and alternating the stippling. mixing and mashing and blending the two together.
Step three
After the paint was completely dry I applied some florals from the IOD transfer brocante.
Step four
Then I distressed my edges using a rough grit sand paper and a wet cloth.
Step five
I then applied CV clear wax all over the piece to completely seal it.
Step six
I applied dark and white wax to create highlights and lowlights to the table and add depth giving it an aged feel.

I hope this is useful but this technique can be used with lots of colours and shades and is easily achieved.

Happy creating
