Autumn Colours Home Deco Panel

Hi, Visible Image fans! Our theme this week is autumn colours, and my brief is a non-card creation. So I've gone for a home deco panel for the mantelpiece.

Tutorial

I started off by tearing strips off a cardboard offcut and painting it with black gesso.

Once that was dry I spritzed some Antique Linen Distress Oxide, then a few Distress Mica Stains.

I tilted the panel to get the sprayed colours to run. The gold reminded me of a bare tree, and I was quite happy with that.

I wasn't sure which leaves or sentiments I would use, so I just loaded everything from Erika's Maple onto my stamping platform and stamped them a couple of times onto watercolour card using Versacolour Onyx Black ink.

In an attempt to emulate Tim Holtz I dripped some Crooked Broomstick Mica Stain onto the leaves, but then disaster struck!

The drip became a huge blob, but I managed to rescue the leaf by using a black Posca paint pen and dabbing lightly where the black ink once was, so at least I recovered my outline. I trimmed the leaves then ran a black felt pen around the edges before mounting them in place on my panel.

The sheen from the mica stains is fantastic! Tilted one way, all the yellows show up, then tilted another the other colours shine.

I curled the leaves upwards slightly before fixing them in place with silicone glue, and ran a gold Krylon pen around my sentiment before adding a couple of tiny staples and fixing it to the panel.
