Angels create miracles and...

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is a card I made this afternoon for http://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.co.uk/ with stuff left over from a previous card. The printed paper was actually a recycled gift wrap which I have punched with an MS punch. This little strip is all that I could save of it and I have stuck it over pink gingham paper. The rose is a stamped image from Hero Arts. It is from a larger stamp and I cut out a flower and leaves after colouring it with water colours. The corner punch is from Carla Craft and the sentiment is from Penny Black - it is one of my fave sentiments and the pearls are from mys stash.

I will also enter this card in:
http://www.craftdoormagazine.com/ - anything goes
http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/ - spring

I cannot believe it is Thursday all ready...

Will come and visit later.

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.
