Card with Terry's blog candy and home made flowers
Hello bloggers,
Today it poured buckets again and the clouds were as thunderous as could be and my two and a half year old kept saying,"Mummy, I scared, I scared!" Some parts of the city were flooded yet again.
I have made this card with paper from Terry's (http://terryeo.blogspot.com) fabulous blog candy. Added my homemade flowers and dried leaves from my flower press. The card stock is handmade from India. Thank you again, Terry!
The sentiment is handwritten... not impressed with my handwriting - rather shaky here. Generally it is not too bad.
I got inspired by Lynn (http://creativecraftsbylynn.blogspot.com/) to do a thank you card after reading her lovely post with her butterfly card. Thanks, Lynn.
Hope you like this card.
Thanks for visiting... If you wish to leave a comment I would love it.
Have a nice day where ever you are...
Love,
Monica

Terry's anniversary blog candy
Hi bloggers, it is Sunday, 11.30 am here and it is hot and very sunny - typical, unpredictable tropical weather... Hope you are having a good weekend where ever you are... My weekend was great because I received Terry's anniversary blog candy at last. Yippppeeeeeee! I had to ask Terry to post it to the UK because I don't trust the post here. My hubby got it for me when he went there on work. At last! Thank you, Terry! I am thrilled with my new goodies. I love them all but what I like most is the delightful assortment of papers. I will show you what I create soon. Right now I am too excited to do anything!!! Sorry the picture is not very clear but I couldn't wait to show of my prize. Love, Monica |

99 percent natural!
Hello bloggers,
Hope you are having a good time crafting where ever you are...
Here is another card I made over the last two days... I kept sticking leaves and flowers and all sorts of natural stuff to it till I felt it was complete.
The dried leaves and flowers are from my flower press - the big green leaves that you see are curry leaves that are used as a spice in the south of India.
I have used handmade stock and the creamy paper on the background is handmade as well. Just stuck some natural stones (dyed red) to bring some colour to the earthy appearance.
The kitty stamp is from Inkadinkado - I did distress the paper but it somehow does not show in the picture.
Hope you like it.
Love,
Monica
