Kween Bee Kreations: Merci ...

Merci ...

NEW! - The Retired Stamp List for the Spring-Summer Collection 2008 has been released. Check it out in yesterday's post.

Today's Kreation is titled "Merci (dot dot dot)" inspired by the black & white polka dotted covered ribbon.

Sometimes, I find it hard to title my Kreations and today was one of those days. But then suddenly, the title popped into my head... When I am typing email's, without realizing it, I use the ellipse ... many, many times.

I love the dot, dot, dot and I love that silly things like the ellipse can inspire me.

Speaking of inspiration, this card was completed for the SCS Inspiration Challenge (IC132). The piece I chose from the online pages of Acacia's product line is Birds and Branches - a panel screen. It was difficult to pick just one inspiration piece from Acacia, as everything is SO beautiful. See the photo below showcasing "Birds and Branches" (click to view detail).

This is not the first time I wished I owned a bird stamp of some kind. But, the Bee from the Sale-a-Bration set "Merci" substituted for the lack of birds nicely (love Bee's of course) and the spray from the "Fresh Cuts" set replaced the tree branches.

I used River Rock and Ruby Red classic ink against a Whisper White background, then mounted each panel to Basic Black card stock, and finished off the card with a sentiment holder from the Hodgepodge Hardware collection (this one in particular from the soon to expire Occasions Mini Catalog). Two pretty red rhinestones sit atop the hardware in place of silver brads.

Look around ... inspiration is found where you least expect it.
