Instructions:

The finished size of this project is 18 “ (45 cm ) each Tree stump round is 5 - 5 1/2 “ ( 12.5 – 14 cm )

Taking the MDF Tree stump kit, adhere the stump ring paper to the MDF or find a neutral design paper to use as a background for the stumps. Taking the white card stock and cut the circles by taping the two sized circles on the back and die cut at east 6 times for each ring, one for each stump. Adhere together with clear drying glue. When dry apply the Forest moss distress ink to give the rings a deep green colour. Stamp, die cut and colour all the embellishments. Cut x 6 extra die cuts for all three of the bears to make chip-board. Adhere together.

Make the flowers.

For the sunflower centres, apply a large amount of clear drying glue to the flower centre then the black sand. Press softly on the sand to push it into the glue. Put aside to dry. Taking the sentiment stamp from the Sunrise Lilly stamp set, stamp this onto the white card stock and trim the words wanted for each stump round. Ink the edges with the Fired Brick ink.

Adhere the circle rings to the stumps then the bears. Next step is to arrange and adhere the flowers, leaves, sentiment banners and footprints. Attach the stumps together with the string, leaving extra length string on both ends to be able to attach or hang the project where wanted.
