HANDMADE CARDS WITH LOVE FOR CHARITY: Thanks

Friday, 17 April 2020

Thanks

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card I made a few weeks ago with a rubber stamp I bought in 2017 from the US. I took two-three stamp pads for more effect and went over them with Sakura gold pens. The gold cord on the side is from my stash. Both my girls felt that this card needed more zing, so I thought of the cord. The sentiment is handwritten.

Down is a closeup of the gold touches on the leaves. Looks quite nice to be honest.

I will enter in the following challenges with this card:

Happy cardmaking,

Monica

Stay safe

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.
