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.

You are so "Mice".....

Hi there, Retro Rubber friends: My teammates and I have a new challenge for you to play with and it's the very popular "RETRO RUBBER", so let's get creative with your older than a year stamps and join us in our gallery.

I made a few tags using a Stampin' Up! set that was first introduced back in 1999, which was way before I knew anything about rubber stamps, blogs, card making, etc.  I was browsing Pinterest and I came across one of these delightful images on a card, and I fell in love immediately. Lucky the lady who made the card gave the name of this set which is "Mice Messages" so I went on a hunt for a while until I found it on eBay, needless to say, I bought it!!! 

That was 2 years ago so, here's my set of tags, hope you like them.

I punched the Kraft card stock with the "Scalloped" SU punch and stamped the images with Memento black ink then, colored them with Prismacolor pencils, I just love the vintage look you get with Kraft paper.

There's a punched panel on the back to write messages, the Washi Tape on the top is from SU.

Hope you liked these little tags, I sure had a lot of fun creating them.

Please visit the RETRO RUBBER challenge and check out my teammates' creations, visit their blogs and leave them some comment love.
