Sunflower Fields | Sketch Day

SUNFLOWER FIELDS PAPER

and a Sketch for the day

I consider sketches to be such an easy way to use what we have at hand while keeping it simple

Today I followed a sketch I did in the past with a bit of a different spin. 

I love when Pretty Papers bring images you can cut and add as embellishments. This is one of them. I fussy cut some flowers and added a ribbon bow as an accent.

SUNFLOWER FIELDS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER 

$13.00

You can tell this particular sketch can be done in different ways, I love both. The one on the right -a Past Paper Pumpkin inspired card-uses a sheet cut and placed in order, the paper looks complete. The one on the right uses strips from different patterns of the same paper plus two strips from the paper below. It adds a touch of elegance.

Embellish the inside as you wish. I used the stamp from the Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin kit from August 2022 by Stampin' Up! and the sentiment from Botanical Expressions stamp set.

Reminder:

Start again.

If things did not work at first. 

Take time to do it right this time. 

How?

Pray first. 

Ask God.

Inquire of His direction.

Consider what does God wants you to do.

Even Jesus did nothing out of his own ideas. 

John 5:19-20 says, 

Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed." 

We were not made to function separate from His heart. We were made to abide in Him and work out of His rest. Co-laboring with Christ. What a relief! Things go way better when we ask for directions. 

Take a leap of faith and ask. 

His sheep hear His voice and follow Him. That is the most wonderful art and the Father's heart for us as well. See John 10:27, John 5:30, John 6:38, John 8:28

So today simply start again by praying.

"The fervent prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective." James 5:16b

He hears you and loves you.

Reminder

“Jesus once wisely said that we’ll know a tree by its fruit. So what’s the fruit of that story of self-sufficiency in the life of the modern person? 

We’re overwhelmed. 

Everyone I meet is drowning in “their thing”. 

It doesn’t matter if “your thing” is an artistic endeavor, profit marging, wining and dining clients, or raising children. We can’t see past “our thing” because “our thing” (whatever it happens to be) is all consuming.”

“Constantly overwhelmed lives should drive us to prayer at its purest and rawest, but the tendency for many of us is to pray safe, calculated prayers that insulate us from both disappointment and freedom.” 

From the book “Praying like monks, living like fools” by Tyler Staton
