Instructions:

1. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the Little Light Angel from the Little Light Clear Stamp Set TP-1314 twice — once onto white cardstock and again onto repositionable sticker paper.
2. Color the Little Light Angel with Copic markers. 
3. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version of the Little Light Angel and place it atop its counterpart on the image panel as a mask.
4. Place the small rounded rectangle die from the Bubble Talk Die Set 72 facedown on the image panel so it's framing the Little Light Angel. 
5. Secure the die in place with low-tack tape and run the combination through your die-cut machine.
6. Flip the secured cutting diet/die-cut panel to the reverse. 
7. Use low-tack tape to secure the die-cut to the back of the panel. 
8. Flip the panel over again so that the masked image and the cutting die are facing upwards. 
9. Place a piece of low-tack tape horizontally just above the bottom of Little Light Angel's dress. 
10. Sponge Lost Shadow Distress Ink over the tape and the cutting die onto the bottom of the die-cut image panel to ground the the Little Light Angel.
11. Move the low-tack tape so that it's covering the grey-inked bottom of the image panel die-cut/cutting die. 
12. Brush or sponge Della Blue Elements Inks  over the back of the cutting die onto masked image panel die-cut.
13. Remove the low-tack tape and the die from the image panel die-cut. Clean the ink off of the die with a baby wipe.
14. Position the image panel die-cut onto the base of a stamping platform with magnets and/or low-tack tape. 
15. Place the halo stamp from the Little Light Clear Stamp Set TP-1314 facedown over Little Light Angel's head on the image panel.
16. Press the platform's lid onto the back of the halo stamp and lift. 
17. Ink the halo stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp.
18. Use the gold metallic marker from the Colorista Essential Metallic Markers Set to color the halo. Set the image panel die-cut aside for now.
19. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the dove from the Little Light Clear Stamp Set TP-1314 onto a scrap of white cardstock. 
20. Fussy-cut the dove, color with Copic markers, and edge with a black pen. Set aside.
21. Use the largest die from the Holey Fun Die Set DI-88 to cut a piece of blue patterned paper from the Jolly Christmas 8x8 Patterned Paper Pad. This will become the background panel.
22. Use the smallest die from Holey Fun Die Set DI-88 to cut a leftover piece of the blue patterned paper. 
23. Flip the patterned paper and place low-tack tape across the back of the aperture left in the patterned paper. 
24. Place the patterned paper die-cut onto the tape in the aperture and then place the patterned paper onto the base of a stamping platform. Secure it with magnets and/or low-tack tape.
25. Position the "Peace" sentiment so that it is facedown on the die-cut. 
26. Press the platform's lid onto the back of the halo stamp and lift. 
27. Ink the sentiment stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp.
28. Remove the sentiment die-cut from the tape holding it to the patterned paper.
29. Edge the background panel die-cut and the sentiment die-cut with Golden Glitz Delicata Ink. Heat set both pieces.
30. Adhere the Little Light Angel die-cut to the background panel as shown. 
31. Adhere the sentiment die-cut and the dove above her on the background panel as shown.
32. Adhere the completed background panel die-cut to a blue card that is .25" larger than the background panel.
