For Less is More - sketch

Hello it's me again for the second time today which is quite rare. Here is my card for Less is More - quick and easy. The lovely strawberry came from my dear blog buddy Sandra. Thank you so much, I love it!!! The strawberry has been popped on foam dots to make it look 3D.

I have had this mesh embossing folder hanging around for a long time now so it was beckoning me to be used. The sentiment is handwritten and I am not too impressed with it.

Off to make some more cards and then read to Aleeza.

Love,

Monica

Donna Ellis said...: oh my! You hand wrote that sentiment? I LOVE it! It must be the deep, dark black which makes it look so awesome AND, of course, you clear printing. It looks great with the strawberry. So do strawberries grow in Indonesia? xo; 28 April 2013 at 03:40

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.
