Be Well........

Hello again, everyone: I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping busy and staying safe.
Like most of you, I've spent lots of time in my craft room, we haven't gone out of our house in over 2 weeks so, my home is clean and safe.
Here's a little card that I will enter in a couple of challenges.


This adorable image is from a 1999 Stampin' Up! set called "Mice Messages" which came out about 10 years before I even had any notion of card making and rubber stamping but one day, I was browsing Pinterest and I came across a card made with one of the other 3 stamps on this set and I fell in love.  Luckily, the lady that made that card left a link to her blog, I went to look and on her post, she wrote the name of the set.  So I went on a hunt until I found it on eBay, WOO HOO!! 
So, anyway, I stamped it on a folded A-2 card base made of Strathmore Bristol paper and colored it with Windsor/Newton watercolor markers.
There is no sentiment because I'm entering the Less is More One Layer Challenge and the theme is NO SENTIMENT.
*****************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.


The border is from a SU set called "Delicate Details" (2017 SAB), the sentiment is from another SU set called "Whimsical Words" (2010 SAB) and the little mousey is from yet another SU set called "Furry Folk" (2011-2012 Catty)

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

Aw so cute those mice! I love this set! Stampin Up! Has been instrumental in sharing papercrafting with me, I always felt they were #1 in design back in the day. Adorable!

Awwwwww, so much adorableness! When you love something this much it's worth it to go after it. This is one of my favorite sentiments. I have it in a Power Poppy set and use it a lot. Hugs, Maria!
