Love this stamp - I'm not very good at covering any of him up, but for this card I tucked him behind a counter made of faux wood, using a technique I accidentally discovered when making faux barn board and not reading the instructions carefully enough. I mixed re-inker with my glue instead of my acrylic, and got a lovely effect like wood laminate. This is the last scrap of it, folded at the top, and scored along the width of it. I drew in tiles behind the chef and sponged lightly in each corner, then finished it off with an awning made with the Word Window punch.
DH says it needs a banner sentiment across the front, but I don't think so - it would take away the effect of him standing behind a counter. But when I realised that it looks as if he is holding his hand behind his back, I tucked a balloon in, masking him off before stamping it.
