I made this card using ribbon that is over 9 years old... bought it from the haberdashery in John Lewis in London.

The handmade paper is from India. I like jute so thought of adding it. Did some pop up painting at the bottom which makes it look a bit tacky... did not turn out as I thought it would! :(

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.
