Hello bloggers,
I seem to have some free time at my hands so am blogging away.
I made this card a while ago while I was at Langkawi (Malaysia) as a tribute to the superb eco-friendly resort we stayed in...
I gathered most of the material from twigs and barks lying around the beach.
Do not have the heart to sell it or give it away until I make some more of the same kind.
I am going to enter this in Unstampabelles monthly challenge - Christmas
Close-up of the embellishments
Supplies:
Base card stock - handmade paper from India
Corrugated paper - from toothpaste packaging in the resort
Twigs - lying around near the beach
Bark at the bottom - same as above
Jute string - from my stash
Bells -made with Carla craft punch using an old Indian wedding card
Crystal - from Prima
Leaves - made with Carla craft punch on construction paper
Do tell me what you think of my creation... I have to say I was pleased with it.
Hugs,
Monica

Hi Monica, you sweet lady! Thank you so much for the sweet words. You are so lovely to mention the papers you won from my blog. I can't remember some because the cards you've made are so marvelous - wow! I am glad your Bazaar was a success because you are a crafty young lady! I hope you and your family enjoy a very Merry Christmas and bountiful new year! ;-)
Beautiful card! The textures are just gorgeous. I wanted to take home an entire stump from the beach this past weekend.... lol! Illegal though -and then no one else would get to see it either. I can see why you cannot bear to sell this one. :)
Lovely card Monica - as always. Hope you have had a great holiday! Happy New Year!
Hi Monica, once again it has been awhile for me to visit. But I was thinking of you and wanted to see what you have been up to. I love, love, love this creation. It is wonderful!
A long time ago I made some cards using bits of tree branch that my son and I scoured the neighborhood for to make for father's day. You inspire me to try again.
Hi sweet Pea! I wanted to wish you a happy new year with good health, love , joy and peace! Big cyber hugs sent your way!!
