I can only recommend copying paper boxes
They are throwing them to the thrash at my workplace, except those I save

I blended the shrubbery with the bases, on the larger pieces covered the aluminium foil, with a mixture of gesso primer and tile grout.
As there are some tight spaces between the plants, I wanted to apply a base brown layer first, but don't have any suitable airbrushable brown available. Didn't want to bother making an acrylic paint thin enough. So I choose the best one available, a dark red from Molotow.
The sweetgum seed pods were then given a coat of Molotow white through the airbrush, to make the inks to be applied next pop. As the airbrush did not reach all the tight nooks and crannies, the natural brown provided an adequate shadow color.
Then I applied different shades of ink, applying a 3 color gradient to each plant.
Projekt already mostly done
Now I only need to take care of the bases.

^^Your terrain is making me want to rake my yard. I'm not sure that's quite the desired effect. But . . . well done just the same. Creative use of gumballs.

I hope you raked your yard in order to gather valuable terrain building materials

I painted all the bases in the midbrown I used for this project. The dried patch of ground was painted in dark brown.
I then mixed and applied the diatomaceous earth/PVA slurry; this will now again take a couple days to dry.
Then it is only the base flocking, which is missing.

After the mass was drying since last year (!!! happy new year everyone), it is now properly dry and cracked.
I was then able to apply the flock, pebbles, sand ground cover as with the rest of this terrain set.
Still needs to be sealed.
