  2. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and a stamping platform to stamp the Snowy Day Window Clear Stamp twice — once onto a 4" x 5.25" piece of white cardstock and once onto repositionable label paper.
  3. Color the image with Copic markers
  4. Use a white pencil to add highlights to the ornaments and holly berries. 
  5. Use the gold pencil to add a tiny bit of shimmer to the ornament holder thingies.

  7. Place it over the colored image on the image panel.
  8. Place removable tape horizontally across the image panel where the window frame meets the window seat.
  9. Secure the image panel to the STAY-tion with magnets.

  13. Remove the stencil from the STAY-tion.
  14. Remove the tape.
  15. Place one of the masking strips under the window to create a chair rail or molding, depending on how you look at my image panel.

  17. Place the image panel back onto the stamping platform, secured with magnets
  18. Position the sentiment face-down on the image panel.
