Inspired By #153 - melted snowman

 

Melted Snowman ... who among us hasn't chuckled when spying the melted guy?  I sure have!

Here's my attempt to recreate the cutie cupcake in our IB153 photo inspiration - closeup first:

I was lucky to have these snowman embellishments in my stash.
I did a little 'melted-snow' comparison with a few products I
had to work with to create my cupcake's melted effects:

Please don't ask whose Puffy embossing powder this is - but, tell me,
who packages without labels?  Maybe it's a clue?

Doesn't he look as if he's watching his buttons slide off?  lol

Okay. Now it's your turn ... see you in the IB153 gallery?

PTI polka paper: Bitty Big- Soft Stone 
random Altenew die for branch-arms
Altenew:  Halftone Holidays  stamp/die combo for sentiment

  13. Your humor is on full display here. Love the melty, but probably delicious, snowman cupcake, Michele. I wonder if your puffy stuff is from Stampin Up or Close to My Heart. I have a jar of prima glitter from CTMH that is not labeled. I bought it in the early 2000s. (Yeegads, I'm OLD). LOL

  16. LOVE THIS! Yup - I've got that exact same "no-labeled" puffy powder (in the same container BTW) and I don't whose it is either! : ) This is such a great theme and your take is perfect!
