for creating distressed and layered
finishes so I used it when I wanted
to create a layered color effect on a
thrift store jewelry box.
BEFORE
I started with an old men's accessory caddy from the thrift
store. I took the box outdoors and sprayed it with an oil
based ivory colored paint. Once it was dry I used sandpaper
to distress the edges.
Over the Ivory color I created three levels of turquoise blue
like an ombre effect. Here you can see the different shades I
ended up with.
I using Annie Sloan PURE WHITE and adding FLORENCE in
small amounts for each shade. Florence is a very strong color
so a little goes a long way. 1st mix was a light blue,
2nd was a light turquoise, 3rd mix was a medium turquoise
I let each layer dry completely before applying the next.
*********************************************************
To achieve the different levels of paint color I used a damp
kitchen sponge. ASCP can be distressed with water and it is
best to do before you wax.
I did change the drawer pulls and lining
the drawers is always an option.
