Home made flowers

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is a card that I made following a sketch for http://www.thehousethatstampsbuilt.com/. For some reason, I am unable to copy and paste the sketch.

The border is a Martha Stewart punch and the yarn and mosaic are from my stash.

I made the flowers (with punches) while I was in my flower-making phase

which does not seem to want to come back. Lol. Never mind, there is a thrill about putting on a ready made, store bought flowers as well.

I will also enter this card in:

http://www.charismacardz.blogspot.com/ - use atleast 2 punches

http://www.charismacardz.blogspot.com/ - anything goes

http://simplycreatechallenges.blogspot.com/ - anything goes

Phew, that is an awful lot of challenges - lol.

Thank God it's Friday.

Love,

Monica

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.
