Sold another seven cards!!!

Hello sweet peeps,

A lady who lives in our complex ordered two cards from me last week and actually bought seven - now how kind is that!!! I am thrilled to bits and she sure made my weekend.

Here is my card to show you for today. It was actually made a few days ago for the challenge at LIM last week which was to make handmade flowers. The embossed piece had to be placed in this fashion as it was too long for my card. I have had it in my embossing drawer for many months now. The flowers are handmade out of punches and the flourishes have been cut into two from a corner die while the pearls are from my stash.

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Happy Monday,

Monica

Sorry my comments have been few but I too have had orders for cards and what with workshops and DT duties Time seems to desert me .
But here I am to see a beautiful creation . Love the way you placed the embossed flower panel and then trimmed foliage to suit with little gems .

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.
