Second entry for CAS(E) this Sketch

Hello sweet blog buddies,

Here is my second take on the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch this week. The sentiment (from Wonder House) is my new buy - you should have seen me break into a happy dance when I spotted it at the craft store. I have used pearlised paper to die cut the sentiment and punch the hearts. The butterflies are plain confetti!!! My long love affair with die cuts and punches continues...

Down below is the photo inspiration at Just Inspirational

I will also enter this card in:

Monica

Donna Ellis said...: Hi, Monica! I like your phrase "my love affair with die cuts and punches continues". Perfect with this wedding/anniversary card all about Love, isn't it? :-)

Very sweet card with all the hearts. Remember when we felt "butterflies in our stomach" whenever meeting a new potential boy friend? That's what this reminds me of. Very sweet.

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.
