Creating a weathered look with Annie Sloan Chalk paint®

I was recently given the opportunity to transform a newer, unfinished door with chalk paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan.  The client wanted the door to look old, worn and weathered in order to use it as a headboard.  The door had been stripped and was so raw it was furry.  In order to prepare the door - so that it didn't just drink up the paint, I applied two coats of clear shellac.  Once dry, I applied Annie's soft clear wax in strategic areas as a "resist agent".  "Resist agent" is a fancy term for a layer that the paint won't adhere to.  Next, I dry brushed Annie Sloan chalk paint® in Old White.  "Dry Brushed" is another fancy term for very little paint on the brush.  I allowed the paint to dry for about an hour and started distressing.  I used a Japan scraper - if you don't happen to have one of these lying around an old credit card or hotel key would work, and scraped the door, removing the paint in the areas I had applied the clear wax.   Next I sanded the heck out of the door - this gave it the washed, worn look I was going for.  As a final step, I sealed the door with Annie's soft, clear wax.  Here is the final product (bear in mind that this will be hung on a wall horizontally as a headboard!)
