Penny Black Stamp - Triple play

My daughter and I loved this Penny Black stamp the moment we saw it. She stamped it on white card stock and coloured it with her Maped pencils. She is much better at stamping than I ever will be...
I adorned it with paper from Hallmark and some ribbon from my stash. Another attempt at making a boy's card.

About Me

My name is Monica and I am a mother to two lovely girls aged 22 and 14. We moved back to Singapore in June 2014 after having lived in Jakarta, Indonesia and Mumbai. I have a background in Psychology and Sociology Honours along with a post grad diploma in Journalism. I used to work in direct marketing for a premium hotel in India before I decided to become a stay at home mother. I have been creating and selling greeting cards for charity since 17 years. I often use unusual packaging material on my cards to respect and care for the environment. Presently, I share my cards as well as the proceeds from their sales with a shelter that houses and supports abused women in Singapore. Besides this, I run an initiative (UNITED WORLD SANCTUARY - UWS) on meditation, wellness, art and culture. You can find my page on Facebook under the name of UNITED WORLD SANCTUARY-UWS. I also hold mindfulness/wellness workshops for parents in my younger one's school. Besides, I hold Mindful Art and Card workshops for mothers and children.
