Instructions:
1. Reduce a photo to 1.75", print it onto cardstock, and cut it out.

2. Cut a piece of patterned paper to 2.25" x 3".

3. Lightly draw a chalk line 1/8" from each side and 1/8" the top of the patterned paper. Using your stamp positioner, stamp the Barbed Wire along the sides of the patterned paper using Btilliance ink, and heat emboss with silver embossing paper. Take your removable Scotch tape and cover the sides and the embossed Barbed Wire and stamp the Barbed Wire along the top with Brilliance Ink ad then heat emboss with silver embossing powder.

4. Cut a piece of white cardstock to 8 7/8" x 7".

5. Determine the center of the page and draw a chalk line. Draw other chalk lines to guide your stamping. You will need a chalk line for the Rose Garland (which will sit under the photo) and the banners of both the angel and devil.

6. Stamp the Rose Garland using Memento ink. Using a razor, cut along the top edges of the flower garland and edge with black pen to eliminate white edges.

7. Stamp Lil Angel and Lil Devil using Memento ink.

8. Mount the photo onto the embossed dark patterned paper and slide under the cut edge of the Rose Garland. Adhere the photo to the paper. Use scrapbooking tape on the reverse to hold the matted photo securely.

9. Color all images with Copic markers. Add glimmery accents to the angel's hair, wings, and the devil's pitchfork with Spica pens.

10. Lightly draw a chalk line 1/4" from the bottom edges of your piece. . Using your stamp positioner, stamp the Corner Flourish along the sides of the patterned paper using Brtilliance ink and heat emboss with silver embossing powder. Using the previously drawn center line, position the Corner Flourish at the top center pointing towards the photo, stamp with Brilliance ink and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.

11. Smudge gray ink as desired.

12 Using Decoupage Glue, brush glue onto the clipboard and to the back of the stamped scene. Adhere stamped scene to the middle of the clipboard. Then brush glue above and below the scene and the reverse of the two strips of patterned paper. Adhere them above and below the stamped scene, slightly overlapping the scene. Roll a brayer over all papers to make sure all paper is smoothly adhered to the clipboard with no bubbles. Wipe away an excess glue.

13. Wait til the ink is dry then sand all edges of the paper. Add additional chalk or ink to the piece to make you happy. I added red and blue to the blue/grayish white patterned paper to tie in the red on the devil and added some blue chalk to the stamped white piece.

14. Adhere the silver foil stickers to cover any seams or to add more visual interest.

15. Spray the front and back of the clipboard with Super Seal. It dries to the touch within three minutes but is sort of stinky. So I let dry over night in the garage.
