Today was one of those really, really fun days that a designer experiences sometimes. I started creating this kit with one idea in mind and then after painting the sheep it took on a life of its own!
Originally planned as purely an Easter/Spring kit, I began to see that it had possibilities as a wonderful baby kit too. The warm, bright pastel colors and tulips made me look out my window and long for spring! It was especially fun considering that the art which became the basis of this kit was created a couple of years ago and had an entirely different and color palette at the time!
Have you ever seen sheep jumping? They spring up into the air literally "jumping for joy!" An artist friend of mine has sheep and told me all about it. My sheep are dancing, leaping and resting. I’ve added a cross into the kit to make it very workable for Easter cards, bookmarks, Sunday School clip art and scrapbooking.
There will also be a paper pack that I will release along with this kit as well as a Tag ‘n Word Art set to match. I’ll show you previews of these kits over the next few days as I get them completed.
I’m working hard to get extra kits completed so that when I am on my cruise to the Bahamas there will still be kits coming out in the store. I hopy you’ll enjoy these!
THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: 2 Sam 6:14-15 David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the LORD with all his might, while he and the entire house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouts and the sound of trumpets.
NIV
PRAYER: Lord, sometimes I have you pictured as a stoic, ominous God who looks down from heaven waiting for me to "mess" something up. When King David thought of you, he was so overjoyed with your goodness and mercy that he tucked his robes up, kicked up his heels and danced with all his might!
Help me to enjoy you so much that my heart’s response is to dance about with excitement thinking about how much you love me and how good you are. Help me to throw a little bit of my quiet caution to the wind and delight myself in you without holding back! Restore unto me the joy of my salvation. AMEN
