4. Press the platform's lid onto the back of the stamp and lift.
5. Ink the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp.
6. Slide the cardstock along the base of the stamping platform 1 3/16" to the left.
7. Ink the stamp again with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp.
8. Slide the cardstock along the base of the platform again to the 1 3/16" to the left, ink the stamp, and stamp again. Repeat this process until you have a five and a quarter Reindeer/Santa Mini Gnomes.
9. Use Copic markers to color all the Reindeer/Santa Mini Gnomes.

16. Add Cotton Ball White Fun Flock to the wet glue, press the flock into the glue, then allow to drive for a few minutes. 
17. When dry, dump off the excess Fun Flock. 
18. Use a paint brush to clear away any stray Fun Flock.
19. Use a clear Glitter Gel pen to add a line of glitter to the top of the ground area. You can add some glitter over the Reindeer/Santa Mini Gnome's shoes to simulate snow.
20. Adhere the image panel to a 6" x 3.5" piece of polka dot patterned paper.
21. Adhere that combination to a 6" square piece of "Night before Christmas" verbiage patterned paper.
