Instructions: See here for close up photo of banner. The finished size of this project is 18" (45 cm) each round tree stump is 5 x 5 1/2" (12.5 x 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 cardstock and die 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 all the embellishments using Coffee Archical ink on white cardstock and die cut. Color using Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Wild Honey, Barn Door, Black Soot, Fired Brick, Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs, Faded Jeans, Older Paper, Ground Espresso, Rusty Hinge, Spiced Marmalade. Shape leaves with the deluxe flower shaping kit. Cut 6 extra die cuts for all three of the bears to adhere together to make a chip-board.
Shape 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 Lily stamp set, stamp this onto the white cardstock 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.
To finish the project apply stickles to the flowers and anything you would like to high light.
