Be Still...

Needed a little creative time today, so decided to make a card for Unscripted Sketches #31. I struggled with this one a bit because of the 3 circles on the side. Not sure why it wasn't coming together, but after some playing around, and tweaking here and there, I came up with a composition that was pleasing to me. The sentiment stamp was a purchase from Verve Stamps last month, and I knew I wanted to ink it up for the first time on this card. The inside reads "Praying for you" (also from Verve). A perfect card for someone who's going through a hard time, or a great one for me to keep on my desk as a daily reminder of Who's in control!
I've said this before, but I love how sketches just get your creative juices flowing. I'll admit they can be frustrating at times, but then I know that I am stretching myself. You should give it a try!
Thanks for stopping by today!
