Instructions:

1. Create a 6" square card from Kraft cardstock. Set aside.

3. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart on the image panel as a mask. 
4. Position the cocktail to the right of the mug and use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp it twice — once onto the cardstock panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper.
5. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and position it over its counterpart on the image panel as a mask. 
6. Place a piece of repositionable Scotch Tape horizontally across the base of the mug and cocktail, covering the bottom part of the image panel. 
7. Sponge or Cashmere Dye Ink over the tape and the masked images to add a background color to the white panel.
8. Place the Grunge Clocks and Grid Mask/Stencil over the masked images on the image panel and secure with magnets and/or low-tack tape. 
9. Sponge Cashmere Dye Ink over the stencil onto the image panel to create the "time" theme. 
10. Remove the tape over the bottom part of the image panel. 
11. Place a piece of acetate on the dividing line so that it's covering the top part of the image panel and secure with tape and/or magnets.

14. Use alcohol markers to color the festive beverages. 
15. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to the mug, cocktail glass, and candy canes.
