I made this card quite some time ago but didn't get around to posting it.
I stamped the image (from Altenew) onto a white mat cut with a stitched square die. I then took the Altenew Alphas die, placed the letters m and u directly over the image and cut them out. I cut the letters again from craft foam and adhered this to the back of the image pieces.
I cut a square of patterned paper and adhered this to my card, adding a square doily on top. I then used double sided tape to stick the main image on top of that. The last step was to fit the letter pieces into the spaces on the card and glue them down.
I'm really quite pleased with the way this turned out.
No school for me from today, so we're trying to teach the kids remotely. Sadly the system can't cope with the number of people using it so it's all been a bit hit and miss. Still, much better to have the children and staff safely at home and not contributing to the spread of this dreadful virus. Here in Scotland all non-essential shops have now been asked to close.
Stay safe and well.

CaSS - one last encore!
You might know that I stepped down from Christmas at Sweet Stampin' at the end of last year. It's been decided that the challenge blog will go into hiatus and that Charlotte will start her own challenge in due course.
The good news, though, is that the original CaSSettes have got back together for the last challenge so that we can say "'bye for now" to our lovely followers. I can't tell you how happy it's made me to be back with my crafty friends-for-life again!
The theme this month is CAS and here's what I made

I stamped one the cute puppies from the MFT Birdie Brown Snow Buddies Christmas 2019 release and masked him so that I could do some ink blending over the top. I coloured the image with Copics and added snow and detail on his scarf using a Sakura white gel pen. There's also a bit of silver glitter gel pen on his nose for a frosty look!
I took another panel of white card and from this cut a stitched circle. After adhering the panel over the original image I stamped a greeting from MFT's Snowglobe Sentiments set. I then mounted the panel onto a light blue card base.
Do check out the inspiration projects over on the blog, where you'll also find the linky to enter challenge. We'd love you to join us one last time!
