For Less is More - scallops

Hello lovely bloggers,

Here is a card (after many failed attempts) which I have made for Less is More where the theme this week is scallops. I thought this was going to be rather easy for me but that was obviously not the case. When I showed this card to Zeenya, she would not even want to look at it and said it would be best if I not ask for her opinion. Really is it that bad???

Hope you are having a good weekend...

Love,

Monica

Donna Ellis said...: WHAAAAAT? You better not ask????? LOL I think Zeenya meant that she was not feeling well so she would not be able to give you a proper assessment. :-) Love the little pink punched flowers with pear centers and how you have scalloped the edge and then put the pink behind. Looks darling! Is it happy birthday ribbon across the panel? Or a shiny cardstock? Either way, it is delicate, girly, and HAPPY -- oh and PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY! LOL It really is, my dear friend. hugs, de; 30 March 2013 at 22:10

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.
