Autumn Richness 1 - Berry Panels

 This is my first project for the September 24 challenge at Country View Crafts challenges on FaceBook. Two little panels that grew to five (more to come later).

I have used Alison Bomber stamps and just love these berries.

Background for book page panels - dipped and dried - gathered twigs DO.  Repeated with tea dye DI and also Hickory Smoke DO. Brayered white gesso randomly and lightly over the top. I then stamped some of the pressed foliage range of Alison's stamps and some little ephemera stamps with walnut stain DI and covered it with a piece of vellum.

Stamped berries with Clair Pinecone and coloured in with wet aged mahogany and candied apple distress watercolor pencils. Cut them out and added to the panels with sme Tim Holtz snippets and leaves diecut from distress inked backgrounds.

The second panel was put together in the same way as the first but included a Tim Holtz die-cut with words from Alison's stamps.
