HANDMADE CARDS WITH LOVE FOR CHARITY: For Japan Redcross

For Japan Redcross

Hello bloggers,

I made this card a while back... in fact my ex - design conultant (the famous Zeenya, now infamous because she does not want to get anywhere close to art and craft since she has started chatting with her friends on Skype) coloured in this Penny Black image some weeks ago.

I distressed the image as there were some tell tale stains on it.

The ribbons, embellies and sentiment are all from my stash.

And I have to share that this card sold yesterday... Yippeeeee! This lady in our complex bought five cards from me and she seemed to buy three which were red!!! So does that mean I must make more red cards?

I am going to submit this for the following challenges:

Hugs,

Monica

CG said...: Love it! I have a lot of designer friends (and I'm sorta a designer too) and they used to be so poo-poo about things I made with "craft" supplies...but now they all want my cards! Yea arts & crafts! Sometimes modern designers forget that what they do started with people doing arts & crafts.
And congrats on selling your cards! Have you seen this red-themed sentiment freebie at TLC? http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com/2011/02/happy-friday.html; 6 April 2011 at 02:25

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.
