It's time for our new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz and this time our theme is "All Wrapped Up".
So that could mean wrapped up nice and cosy, or gift wrapped - it's up to you!
I've stamped a Gruffles image - and the bears are wrapped up in scarves as well as having all the gift wrapped presents on top of the car - double whammy! I coloured the image with Promarkers and a silver gel pen.
I really wanted the border of gift wrapped parcels to show without being obscured by the image, so to do this I first cut the paper to size then cut right around the border to remove it. I stuck the upper part on the mat and then used temporary adhesive to stick down the border, too, just while I positioned all the elements, then removed it, stuck everything in place and replaced the temporary adhesive with permanent (I have a tape roller of bright yellow temporary adhesive that rubs away with a fingertip when you no longer need it) and attached it once everything else was in place.
