HANDMADE CARDS WITH LOVE FOR CHARITY: For Less is More

Hello lovely bloggers,

Hope you are well and healthy which ever corner of the globe you are.

I had made a promise to myself that I would try and blog everyday but life just got in the way yesterday. Anyhow here I am today with a card that is bland and rather plain. Looks like mojo has gone for a ride again. Just didn't feel like making a card and had to force myself to make this one for Less is More which is all about lime and black this week.

I have embossed and sponged the lime green panel and have stuck black and white printed paper underneath it. The sentiment is from Spellbinders - it was lying handy on my table so went for it. Rounded two corners to add more interest however it may have worked otherwise.

I will also enter this card in the following challenges:

Wishing you a pleasant morning, afternoon or evening...

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.

Donna Ellis said...: Hello, Monica! What a delightful musical card. I never thought of using black and yellow for music before, but what a sunny, happy combination. I think your cards look so classy because of the texture in your white cardstock. Sad but true, sometimes our mojo goes on vacation. I hope yours returns soon. big hugs, de; 11 April 2013 at 10:21
