Instructions:

The finished size of this project is a little over 15 cm x 15 cm.

To make the tunnel base, take the card stock and cut x 4 15 cm x 15 cm. From 3 cut a hole into the square form a frame. The cover frame edge is 2.2 cm. The remaining two are 3 cm and 1.5 cm frame edges. The supporting box the measurements are, 15.1 cm x 15.1 cm for the base, 3 sides at 2 cm, 1 side at 2 cm + 1.5 cm. ( this is for the front frame hinge. ) Ink the edges using the different colored inks. Green inks for the ground and blue inks for the sky. Adhere all together to form a box with a hinged cover. Adhere the ribbon to the side of the box. Make a sentiment using the ‘Thinking of you‘ stamp from the Paw-fect Pooches stamp set. listed above in the product list. To make the inside; Stamp all the images from the collection with the archival ink on aquarelle paper, you can never have enough. Color the images with the watercolor pencils then die cut the images. Arrange across the openings of the frames. Checking that you will see the treetops and critters in each layer by placing on top of each other before adhering in place. ( I know it is a bother, but it is worth it, as you do not want to have to start all over again to get it right. ) Once there is a base line of tree lines and bush you can then add the critters and birds. You can trim to size the flowers and forest foliage as fillers, that is the reason why it is good idea to color and die cut extra images. What is over can always be used in other projects at a later date. Once all is glued and secure on the frames, you can adhere the frames together in a stack. Adhere two foam dots together to form one dot to give the height needed between each frame. The dot placement is three across on each side. Because you have used ink you will need to add a spot of wet glue to the foam dots to secure the hold. Once you have adhered the entire frame together, add double sided tape to the base and sides of the box. Place the frames into the box, tie the ribbon, add the sentiment and embellish the frame front. Add a few spots of stickles here and there to add interest.

These two cute critters are adhered to the sides of the box.

The critters hide the adhesive for the ribbon.
