HANDMADE CARDS WITH LOVE FOR CHARITY: Christmas is coming

Christmas is coming

Dear bloggers,

Here is a Christmas card to show you today. The entire cardstock (front and back) has been painted with acrylic paints in blue. On the inside, I stuck another piece of cardstock to give more body.

The reindeer is a die cut from a Kaiser die while the pretty ribbon is from my stash.

I will participate in the following challenges with this card:

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.
